Agape Innovations Limited is proud to supply high-quality Azolla starter seeds and provide hands-on farmer training at our learning centre.


What Makes Azolla Special?

Azolla is a fast-growing aquatic plant rich in nutrients and naturally capable of fixing nitrogen. It multiplies rapidly, making it a reliable source of feed and an organic fertilizer for farmers across Uganda.


Why Farmers Are Choosing Azolla
1. Affordable High-Protein Livestock Supplement

Azolla contains 20–30% natural protein, making it ideal for supplementing feed for:

  • Poultry
  • Pigs
  • Dairy cattle
  • Goats
  • Fish

By replacing part of commercial feed with Azolla, farmers can significantly cut feeding expenses while keeping animals healthy and productive.


2. Organic Fertilizer for Healthier Soils

Azolla enriches soil with natural nitrogen and organic matter, improving:

  • Plant vigor
  • Soil fertility
  • Water retention

This makes it excellent for vegetable gardens, orchards, rice fields, bananas, and other crops.


3. Fast Growth & Easy Setup

With the right starter material from Agape Innovations, farmers can begin harvesting Azolla within 3–5 days of setup.
It requires:

  • A simple pond or lined container
  • Water
  • Moderate shade

It’s the perfect innovation for farmers looking for low-cost, quick-return solutions.


4. Drastically Reduces Farm Costs

Farmers who integrate Azolla into their systems enjoy savings on:

  • Livestock feed
  • Chemical fertilizers
  • Soil amendments

This makes Azolla one of the most profitable additions to modern farms.
