Inclusive Growth Policy Note;2 |
| description |
Agriculture is critical for sustainable
development and poverty reduction, and agricultural growth
can be a powerful means for inclusive growth. Uganda's
success in using agriculture for development and inclusive
growth will depend on a variety of factors, some of which
are within the sector, some are cross-cutting and general to
the economy, and some are outside Uganda's sphere of
influence, such as the global and regional price development
of agricultural commodities. This policy note focuses on
those factors that Ugandan policymakers can influence, both
within and outside the direct mandate of agricultural
policymakers. The key policy question in the Ugandan context
is how to shift as many farmers as possible out of
subsistence agriculture into commercial agriculture. During
the past two decades, a diverse array of initiatives has
promoted the commercialization of smallholder agriculture in
Uganda. This policy note presents major interventions needed
to accelerate agricultural commercialization. This policy
note is part of the larger analytical work carried out by
the World Bank on inclusive growth in Uganda. It therefore
feeds into that larger effort. This note does not deal with
migration from rural to urban areas because that topic is
covered in other notes. |
