Using survey data covering 30 districts in Uganda, the paper examines the structure and functioning of the agricultural market in Uganda, including:

the role of past reforms with regard to food security;

the trend in food production and consumption;

market linkages;

seasonality;

as well as recurrent crises (shocks) that have affected the market.

Market integration analysis:

With regard to market integration, the Johansen test was employed, based on a vector autoregressive (VAR) model. The bivariate cointegration test of prices between different markets was carried out with VAR = 2.
