10. CONSTRAINTS TO PRODUCTION
D E F
H
G

11. Constraints in groundnuts seed sector
• Lack of effective demand to guide supply
• Frequent impromptu demands
• Policies (Seed law, enforcers)
• End results (Fake and counterfeit seeds)
• No premium for good seed
• Recovery of funds from consolidated pool into
breeding program
• Low/Ltd Private sector involvements
• Selfing; Bulky; Quick loss of viability; High seeding
rate
• Low multiplication ratio: 1: 10 vs 1:100 in
maize hybrids
• Lack of organized groups/Cooperatives
Wealth creation needs
55MT per year

12. • Seeds are expensive in relation to
other legumes e.g groundnuts vs
beans
• Foundation seeds 20,000 vs 7000
• No crop Insurance
• Weather variability: Drought vs Elnino
• Infrastructure: cold storage, irrigation
• Lack of strong industry to absorb
grains
• Cottages industries not stratified

13. Acreage Increments: 25% of Uganda’s arable land
