Agricultural market in Uganda

Abstract

Using survey data covering 30 districts in Uganda, the paper examines the structure and functioning of the agricultural market in Uganda; the
role of past reforms with regard to food security; the trend in food production and consumption; market linkages; seasonality as well as
recurrent crisis (shocks) that have affected the market; among other issues. With regard to market integration the Johansen test was employed,
based on a vector regressive (VAR) model. The bivariate cointegration test of prices between different markets was carried out with VAR = 2.
