    "content": "In the 2020 planting season, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock provided cotton seeds and pesticides to farmers following the launch of the BT cotton on 11th March 2020 at Alupe in Busia. During the launch, the Cabinet Secretary promised to avail BT cotton seeds to farmers from the last season, 2020 to 2021 season. In 2020, farmers produced 60 tonnes of cotton. Farmers in Teso North were provided with 11 tonnes of ordinary cotton seeds by the Ministry as it prepared to fully avail the BT cotton seeds at the onset of the current planting season, which began in March 2021. However, it is noted with concern that the BT cotton seeds have not been distributed as promised by the Cabinet Secretary for the 2021 planting season, which is almost ending."
