<description>Storage infrastructure development
Ministry of trade, industry and cooperatives
Uganda's economy is largely agro based with 70% of the population engaged in agricultural production for food crops and cash crops. Among the food crops, grains have proved to be important for the security and for increased incomes. Grains are grown in almost all parts of Uganda but the farmers are faced with post harvest losses ranging from 20-36%

<description>Transforming small holder farming to modern  agriculture in Uganda
National Planning Authority
Agriculture modernization is a critical component of Uganda’s vision which is “A transformed Ugandan society from a peasant to a modern and prosperous country”. In line with this vision, the 2012 Agriculture Sector Annual Review (ASAR) was dubbed “A revolution in the agriculture sector” after a recognition that there is need to overhaul the operation of the sector so as to revitalize its role in socio economic transformation and national development. Modernization of the agriculture sector in Uganda may entail among others a shift from the prevalent highly diversified and subsistence system of agriculture to a more specialized and commercialized system.

<title>Scaling up value addition in agricultural products</title>

<description>Scaling up value addition in agricultural products
National Planning Authority
Uganda can gain substantially from her agricultural products if the country can adopt and implement value addition techniques and strategies. Indeed, Uganda’s path to development and socioeconomic transformation partly rests on the performance of the agriculture sector. This is because the sector plays a formidable role in terms of food security, employment, local revenue, poverty alleviation, foreign exchange source and overall growth of the economy.  In addition, agriculture has over the years determined the pace and direction of the overall economic growth for Uganda. As figure 1 below shows, where agriculture slumped, as it did in the period between 2003 and 2007 the overall GDP also reduced. The figure reaffirms that there is a close correlation between agricultural sector performance and overall economic performance.  This implies that addressing binding constraints such as limited value addition, pests and diseases, limited use of high yielding varieties, etc in the agriculture sector has trickle down effects on the overall economy.
