Sorghum is the third most important staple cereal food crop in Uganda after maize and millet occupying 285 000 ha of arable land. It is mainly used for food and brewing. In an attempt to improve food security and incomes among the rural poor households, The Serere Agricultural and Animal Research Institute (SAARI) has generated a number of technologies, among which are Sekedo and Epuripur improved sorghum varieties released in 1995.
