Uses of vegetables:
Vegetables are sold for cash in urban areas  
They are a good source of vitamin A, B, and C and minerals such as iron, calcium, phosphorus, iodine and fluorine in varying amounts but adequate for normal growth and health.
They have high nutritive qualities in proteins, vitamins, oils, and micronutrients;
They provide vital food security for a number of families   especially in the rural areas.
They can be dried and kept in powder form for future use.
They have a good potential for export if the vegetables are grown and processed using  the modern methods of farming (Farmers believe that “Ebugga” neutralises the soil when it is planted after).
