TERMITES have destroyed all the crops covering about two square miles of farm land at Nalukonge, Nabisweera in Nakasongora district.
Francis Kyikomeeko said the termites have left “only the soil†in their farms.
“It’s like there have never been plants. Most farmers have migrated to escape the intensifying famine and penury in that area,†he said.
Sources say moringa and neem trees have been planted to tame the pests.
