# Sebei barley farmers seek better returns as production costs rise

> Barley farmers in the Sebei sub-region of Uganda, mainly from Kween and Kapchorwa districts, are demanding a higher farm-gate price for their barley. They say rising costs of fertilizers, seeds, chemicals and labour are squeezing their profits. The remarks were made at a Nile Breweries event in Kween District.

## Why it matters

Higher input costs and low farm-gate prices in Uganda could discourage barley expansion in the region, a local supply factor with little direct effect on global barley prices.
