Uganda’s agricultural sector is vital to the nation’s economy, employing a majority of the population and contributing significantly to GDP. However, the sector’s full potential is hampered by gaps in support and regulation. A key area for improvement is the oversight of agricultural input suppliers—those who provide seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. Strengthening this oversight is believed to be a crucial step towards boosting agricultural productivity. Better regulation ensures farmers have access to quality inputs, leading to improved yields and economic growth. This focus on input quality and supplier accountability is considered essential for realizing the sector's economic promise and supporting livelihoods across Uganda.
