Agriculture has always been of great importance to Uganda. It is the primary sector of the Ugandan economy and the main employer. Over the coming years, the agriculture sector is expected to be the key contributing factor in the country's efforts to decrease poverty and attain economic growth. Uganda has one of the fastest population growth rates. As per the UN World Population Prospects statistics, the population of Uganda in 2022 was 47,249,585, a 3.04% increase from 2021, which is the principal driver for the growth in the consumption of crops in Uganda. However, limited production owing to major productivity restraints, due to the unavailability of good quality seeds and proper irrigation, as well as lack of linkages between formal and informal seed sectors, contribute the most toward restraining the development of the agriculture sector in Uganda.
For decades the Ugandan federal government has been highly supportive of agriculture. It has been supporting the agriculture industry with a number of policies, trying to stabilize the output and seeking out ways to make sure the sector is growing healthily and sustainably. There is broad political consensus as to the need for labor, land, and tax reform to help the sector reach its potential. Due to supportive policies, the agriculture sector's performance has been improving steadily in recent years in Uganda.
