The Feed the Future Uganda Agricultural Inputs Activity is to increase the use of high quality agricultural inputs in Uganda by increasing availability of high quality inputs to farmers in Feed the Future focus districts, and decreasing the prevalence of counterfeit agricultural inputs.
It uses a market systems facilitation approach to improve the performance of the agro-inputs sector, which is expected to increase farmers’ access to and use of quality agro-inputs and decrease the prevalence of counterfeit products. The Activity directly supports agro-input wholesalers and distributors who, in turn, support performance improvements throughout their network of village level retailers. This systems approach is expected to expand the scale of the Activity’s impacts and benefits to farmers. The Activity also strengthens connections between agro-input firms and financial institutions, information and communication technology service providers, equipment providers, spray service providers, financial management service providers and media firms. Increased efficiency and effectiveness of these businesses and the quality of services they offer to agro-dealers is expected to improve the performance of agro-input firms, allowing them to be more responsive to customer (farmer) needs, and increase operational efficiency.
