Dairy consumption and household diet quality in East Africa: Evidence from survey-based simulation models
The role of gender in bargaining: Evidence for selling seed to smallholders in Uganda
In rural societies with strong gender norms and customs, small informal agribusinesses may often be one of the few ways in which women can independently generate revenue.
This policy note summarizes results from a Lab-in-the-field experiment1 in eastern Uganda, where a representative sample of 760 smallholder maize farmers were given the opportunity to bargain over a bag of maize seed from either a male or female s
Lifting quality constraints to agricultural technology adoption in the Ugandan market for maize seed
Agricultural technology remains under-adopted among smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. We investigate how the (perceived) quality of an agricultural input affects its adoption by means of two interventions.
An enabling environment with clear, inclusive, and transparent seed laws, policies, regulations, and guidelines is the foundation for an efficient and effective seed sector.
The (perceived) quality of agricultural technology and its adoption: Experimental evidence from Uganda
Synergies and trade-offs between agricultural export promotion and food security: Evidence from African economies
Several countries across the developing world have designed and implemented agricultural export incentives. However, little is known about the effects of these policies on various aspects of domestic food security.
The impact of community-based monitoring on public service delivery: A randomized control trial in Uganda
In many developing countries, poor delivery of public services remains an important problem.
Linking crop productivity, market participation and technology use among smallholder farmers: Evidence from Uganda
In this paper, we establish the link between crop productivity, crop market participation and agricultural technology use among smallholder farmers.
Uganda experienced annual economic growth of 5.8 percent between 2009 and 2019 (UBOS 2020).
Efforts to increase smallholder access to improved varieties and quality seed is often central to agricultural development, economic growth and poverty reduction in low-income countries.
In situations with imperfect information, the way that value chain actors perceive each other is an important determinant of the value chain's structure and performance.
