Doho Rice Scheme is an irrigation rice scheme found in Butaleja District, Eastern Uganda. Rice production in Doho started in 1942 to feed World War II soldiers. After the war, production declined until 1972. However, after several constraints to the scheme including flooding of River Manafwa and scarcity of irrigation water during the dry season, the farmers appealed for Government of Uganda intervention.

  • Doho Rice Scheme is an irrigation rice scheme found in Butaleja District, Eastern Uganda. Rice production in Doho started in 1942 to feed World War II soldiers. After the war, production declined until 1972. However, after several constraints to the scheme including flooding of River Manafwa and scarcity of irrigation water during the dry season, the farmers appealed for Government of Uganda intervention. In 1976, the scheme was officially established by the government with funding from the Chinese government which was completed in 1984. Doho rice scheme is a 2500 Hectares irrigation scheme, sustaining not less than 10,000 farmers both out-growers and part of the scheme's growers. Most of the scheme was formerly a seasonal wetland on the River Manafwa flood-plain. The scheme is now an area of intensive irrigated rice cultivation with adjacent areas of natural wetland, mainly in the south. The Doho Irrigation Scheme Farmers Cooperative Society (DIFACOS) is the umbrella body set up to manage the scheme. (en)
