Uganda: UCE Kayunga

Description: Local person in front of the Kayunga UCE office. Through this project, the Uganda Commodity Exchange (UCE) enables farmers to send and receive market information for their produce to/from stakeholders in agricultural commodities’ marketing. This way, they can market their produce at good prices. By providing the link to better markets and market information, the project increases the income of the farmers. The project also addresses the problem of lack of information for planning purposes, which is usually unavailable for the primary beneficiaries. Provision of the necessary infra-structure and an information analysis are part and parcel of the project.
