Project
Description
Uganda
Agricultural Productivity Enhancement,
2003-2008
U.S. Agency for International Development
Agriculture is the most important sector of Uganda's economy, employing more than 80 percent of the workforce. Two growing seasons and regular rainfall recently primed the agricultural and finance sectors for improvements. Chemonics helps build foundations for export and production of low- and high-value crops to help Ugandans capitalize on their unique natural resources. Chemonics works closely with actors in the country's agricultural sector to enhance productivity, increase household income, and create jobs. The project builds on an integrated commodity system approach that looks at each client as a national private sector-driven business.
