The story of Mityana Farm Company Limited — one founder, one farm.
Mr. Hood Kiwana, FounderFounded 1998 · Mityana District
In 2025, Mityana Farm Company Limited was named Uganda's Best Farmer — a national recognition spanning every region and every category of livestock production. The farm spans 37 acres in Nakaziba Village, runs a herd of more than 300 pedigree cattle and 20,000 commercial layers, and produces farm-fresh yoghurt delivered weekly to Kampala's hospitality sector.
It started with one cow.
In 1998, Mr. Hood Kiwana bought a single Friesian heifer with no plan to build an operation. He had land, he had time, and he had an inheritance of practical knowledge from his father. The cow calved. Then there were two. Then four. Twenty-eight years later, that lineage runs through every animal on the farm — traced, documented, and improving with each generation.
The Origin
One Friesian heifer.
The first cow was not part of a plan. When Mr. Kiwana settled on a small parcel of land in Nakaziba in 1998, a single Friesian heifer was the natural first investment — a household asset, producing roughly forty litres of milk a day, far more than a family needs.
The surplus became the first sales. The first sales paid for the second cow. Within ten years, the operation was something the family planned around, not the other way around.
