The study analyzes adoption of improved
maize varieties and its effects on farm yields and rural
poverty using cross sectional data collected from 151
households in central (in Nakasongola district) and Eastern
(in Soroti district) regions in Uganda. A binary probit
model was fitted to examine the determinants of level of
adoption. OLS method was used to estimate the determinants
of intensity of adoption, and the effect of adoption on
yield. The sample statistics show very high levels of

It is argued that land is perhaps the most essential resource and an important pillar of national development. In Uganda, the management of land is regulated by the 1995 constitution and the Land Act of 1998, which recognise four tenure systems, namely; Customary, Mailo, Freehold and Leasehold tenure systems, each of which possess unique features and associated ownership rights. This study analysed important dimensions largely of a locational and regional nature, on tenure system and the value of agricultural land. The general objective was to investigate the determinants of the value of...

Uganda is a fast growing economy with much foreign exchange realized from exportation of agricultural produce. A detailed understanding of Ugandas bilateral trade flows provides an additional practical framework for derivation of informed trade policy decisions to improve the countrys trade regime. Thus, the Augmented-gravity flow model was employed to study Ugandas total bilateral trade flows and her trade potential. Objectively, the study explored the determinants of Ugandas total bilateral trade flows, predicted trade potential and performance, and determined the degree of trade...

Transaction cost economics approach argues that transactions do not occur in a frictionless environment. Transaction costs including information, contract and enforcement costs arise in market arrangements and influence market channel participation. Using Tobit limited dependent variable analysis, data from obtained from 158 smallholder farmers sampled from Lilongwe milkshed area, Malawi were used to determine the differences between transaction costs in the formal and informal marketing channel and examine the market channel choice determinants. Results showed that information costs proxied...
