Agricultural Commodity Stabilization in Uganda

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to outline and discuss the principal policies and measures operative in Uganda relating to agricultural commodity stabilization. The paper will deal both with stabilization measures, namely, those which are intended to reduce price fluctuations, and with support Measures which are designed to affect the level of prices. The paper will not be concerned with agricultural support measures which do not, directly influence prices, but which seek rather to reduce costs and to raise farm incomes by, for instance, increased productivity,
