Abstract

We have seen in the previous chapter how high transport costs and lack of transport infrastructures act as impediments to trade, and how these conditions largely shape the structure of the agriculture sector and negatively impact on trade flows in Uganda. There is consensus among experts and scholars (USAID 2008) that improving access to markets and to trade can lead to a shift away from a supply-based situation of the agriculture sector where farmers/outgrowers merely sell their crop surplus, to a demand-driven agriculture where farmers produce for the markets. However, this shift is complex and beset by numerous constraints that still prevent Uganda’s farmers from fully participating in the market.
