Peponi Foods

About Solution

In the face of growing food demands from a burgeoning population, East African agricultural markets are plagued by poor integration.The symptoms of shallow markets can be seen across space (leading to highly variable prices that do not follow the Law of One Price) as well as across time (leading to prices that tend to be low when farmers are selling and high when they are buying).Given the inability of markets to efficiently move food from surplus to deficit regions, poor integration has a major effect on both farmer incomes and on food security.

Agriculture in Uganda holds the greatest potential for attaining an inclusive economic growth, employment creation and boosting local, regional and international trade. Agriculture alone contributed 40% of the national GDP and 52% of total exports earnings in the financial year 2018/19.
