Our Member Says

I like the UTGA outlet for tools especially the Pruning saws and Pangas. Now they've got some good anti- termites and weed killers as well. As an Association there is now some headways as far as building the tree plantation forestry as an industry in Uganda. Its not easy to build any industry from scrap
