The scarcity of high-quality and timely data is complicating planning for Uganda's agricultural sector and holding it back, experts have warned.
Mutaasa was speaking on Wednesday during the launch of the Integrated Grain Handling Project for rural communities in Uganda by Access2innovation. "For example, if I now want to buy maize from Mubende, I can't tell how many farmers are growing it in Mubende so that I know where to take trucks to buy it. I will just end up driving trucks without having exact information.
"We must have regulated trade in this country. How do you allow people to buy not only from the farmers but to also buy farms? Where else has it happened that a foreigner comes to the garden and buys farms? This needs to be regulated."
