-In Uganda the commissioner for agricultural cooperatives developed the agricultural movement by encouraging 500000 farmers to join the cooperatives where they later established the constitution and accounting procedures to be followed by the farmers.
-As time went by, each political district owned a cooperative union which developed and built their own stores and eventually the processing factories such as tobacco dryers, cotton ginneries and maize mills.
-All these were made successful by specialists such as Agnes Atim Apea,David Gordon including others as well as existence of Kampala coperative college and the union with the Asian traders.
