Overviewedit
Busembatya, which sits on a plateau surrounded by swamps, is known for growing rice.[9] Busembatya's rice mills served most of Busoga before other areas in the sub-region were connected to the national power grid.[9][10]
The town's inhabitants and residents in the surrounding villages keep domestic livestock which they allow to roam the streets, unattended. The local leaders have threatened to arrest animal owners who cannot zero-graze their animals.[11]
