Uganda uses agriculture to boost tourist arrivals

LUWERO, Uganda - About 75 kilometers north of the Ugandan capital, Kampala, tourists armed with knives hunt for ripe pineapples in a 1.6-hectare garden in Luwero district.

It's an experience that tour operators are packaging to tourists, especially those from Asia.

Uganda is known for rich fauna and flora, sprawling hills, magnificent landscapes, the world's biggest mountain gorilla population, national parks, over 1,200 bird species, friendly people, beautiful weather and diverse cultures.
