Given the high productivity associated dairying, farmers have adopted modern dairying techniques. Livestock production is efficient given the available resources.

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...
