Excerpt:
Urban farming in Kigali is still rare and often does not employ advanced techniques.
Telesphore Ndabamenye, Director General of the Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board (RAB), told The New Times that urban agriculture in Kigali includes planting vegetables in surrounding marshlands, kitchen gardening at home, mushroom production, as well as greenhouses and hydroponics.
During the rainy seasons, Gasabo, Kicukiro, and Nyarugenge have a potential farming area of around 2,565 hectares planted with maize, beans, and vegetables. During the dry periods, 271 hectares are planted mainly with tomatoes, cabbage, amaranth, eggplant, and green beans.
The Fifth Strategic Plan for Agriculture Transformation (PSTA 5), which runs from 2024 to 2029, encourages strategic interventions, including promoting investment in high-intensive, climate-resilient, and nutrition-sensitive production models such as hydroponics, vertical farming systems, rooftop gardens, and mushroom production.
Ndabamenye urged urban residents to make better use of their small land in their homestead by going beyond planting flowers and grass and instead plant vegetables and fruits, thereby providing fresh and nutritious food for their family and neighbourhoods.
