The study analyzes adoption of improved
maize varieties and its effects on farm yields and rural
poverty using cross sectional data collected from 151

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.
