Connecting Agriculture and Clean Energy at the Eastern Agricultural Show

Agriculture | Clean Cooking | Renewable Energy | Community Engagement

Detra Energy participated in the 5th Eastern Agricultural Show in Soroti City, bringing clean cooking and renewable energy solutions closer to farmers, businesses, households and agricultural stakeholders across Eastern Uganda. Held at the Soroti Museum from 21–24 March 2026, the agricultural show provided a platform for farmers, innovators, businesses and development stakeholders to exchange knowledge and explore technologies supporting productivity and sustainable development.

Clean Energy for Agricultural Communities

Agriculture and energy are closely connected. Households and businesses within agricultural communities depend on reliable energy for cooking, processing, transportation, enterprise and everyday activities. At the Eastern Agricultural Show, Detra Energy showcased clean cooking technologies and engaged visitors on the role that improved energy solutions can play in supporting more efficient households and businesses.

Demonstrating Subsidised Clean Cooking Technologies

Detra Energy showcased selected ECOA Char Stove models available under the UECCC Price Subsidy Programme.

Visitors had the opportunity to learn about:

• Ecoa Char Classic – Black

• Ecoa Char Classic – Silver

• Ecoa Char Plus

The team explained how improved cooking technologies can help reduce charcoal consumption, minimise smoke and provide more efficient cooking. Other Detra Energy solutions were also showcased, giving visitors a broader understanding of the company's renewable energy portfolio.

Bringing Innovation Closer to Farmers

Agricultural shows are important because they take innovation directly to the communities that can benefit from it. For Detra Energy, participation is part of our commitment to ensuring that clean energy is included in conversations around agricultural productivity, household resilience and community development.

Appreciation to Our Partners and Participants

We extend our appreciation to the organisers, exhibitors, partners and everyone who visited our showcase during the Eastern Agricultural Show.

Continuing the Journey

Clean energy is part of a productive, sustainable agricultural future.
