乌干达东部的棉花种植户正在绕过村镇中间商，采取集体销售或直接出售给轧花厂的方式。这种新兴模式让种植户对称重、付款和市场准入拥有了更大的掌控力，并帮助女性将季节性棉花收入转化为教育资金、土地、住房和生产资料。\n\n当Nighty Acen将棉花直接卖给邻近Pallisa District的Iki-Iki Cotton Ginnery时，这种改变不仅仅是找到一个买家那么简单。\n\n这意味着她可以避开村里的中间商，据她所言，这些中间商不仅给农民压低价格，有时还使用维护不善的秤。棉花带来的收入帮助Acen建了一座铁皮屋顶的房子、为儿子的婚礼出了力，还买了几头牛。\n\n这些牛已经成了生产资产。Acen用它们及时整理自己的土地，还通过为其他农民清理土地来赚取额外收入。\n\n家住Kachonga Sub-county的Pondwong村、以务农为生的Acen表示：“过去在棉花生意中与中间商打交道让人沮丧，但自从我开始直接销售以来，我已经盖了一间铁皮顶的房子，帮儿子成了家，还买了牛来改善我的耕作。”\n\n她的经历表明乌干达东部的棉花贸易正在发生潜在的重要转变。农民们正通过团体、合作社以及与轧花厂建立直接联系来组织销售，以此确保找到知名字买家，减少农场到轧花厂之间的损耗，并在每次收获中保留更多价值。\n\n这种转变发生在乌干达75个多地区的约15万至20万户小农家庭赖以生存的棉花产业中。根据African Development Bank 2025年8月的一份项目文件，在截至2023/24财年的十年间，乌干达共产棉约122万包，为农民创造了1.045万亿乌干达先令的收入，并带来了超过3.48亿美元的皮棉出口额。北部地区仍然是该国的主要棉花生产中心，东部地区紧随其后。

Cotton farmers in eastern Uganda are bypassing village middlemen and selling collectively or directly to ginneries. The emerging model is giving growers greater control over weighing, payment and market access - and helping women turn seasonal cotton earnings into education, land, homes and productive assets.

When Nighty Acen sold her cotton directly to Iki-Iki Cotton Ginnery in neighbouring Pallisa District, the change was about more than finding a buyer.

It meant avoiding village middlemen who, she says, offered farmers low prices and sometimes used poorly maintained weighing scales. The income from cotton helped Acen build an iron-roofed house, contribute to her son’s marriage and buy oxen.

The animals have become productive assets. Acen uses them to prepare her own fields on time and earns additional income by clearing land for other farmers.

“Dealing with middlemen in the cotton business was frustrating, but since I started selling directly, I have built a house with an iron-sheet roof, helped my son get married, and bought oxen that have improved my farming,” says Acen, who farms in Pondwong in Kachonga Sub-county.

Her experience points to a potentially important shift in eastern Uganda’s cotton trade. Farmers are organising sales through groups, cooperatives and direct relationships with ginneries in an effort to secure known buyers, reduce losses between the farm and the ginnery and retain more of the value of each harvest.

The shift is taking place within a cotton industry that supports an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 smallholder households across more than 75 Ugandan districts. According to an August 2025 African Development Bank project  document , Uganda produced approximately 1.22 million bales over the decade to 2023/24, generating UGX1.045 trillion in farmer income and more than US$348 million in lint exports. Northern Uganda remains the country’s main production hub, followed by the Eastern Region.
