Closing the potential-performance divide in Ugandan agriculture (World Bank, 2018)

Added: 1 year ago


Description

<p>Agriculture accounts for 70 percent of employment, overwhelmingly on small farms; occupies half of all land area, and provides half of all exports and one-quarter of GDP in Uganda. It is considered a leading sector for future economic growth and economic inclusion in the current National Development Plan.
