Proceedings of the 12th Annual Conference © 2011 IAABD Summary and conclusions The implications of the results are instructive. That in order for the country to be self sufficient in rice, the Government of Uganda has to deal first of all with high population growth rate. Currently, Uganda has one of the highest population growth rates of 3.2% per annum. Although it has been urged in some government circles that high population growth rate is healthy for the economy because of many reasons such as markets for goods produced, it is always not so. This argument is flawed on a number of grounds. The population can be good for the economy if and when it has high purchasing power. But in an economy where poverty has been increasing, this argument falls flat on its face. Thus, the Government needs to increase its efforts in implementing policies on controlling high population growth rates through provision of family planning services. A policy such as promoting use of condoms has a double benefit; it is not only good for population control but also may lead to reduction of HIVAIDS and STDS. Reduced high population growth rate will also have the desired effects of saving scarce foreign exchange for other pressing needs. The results also show that rice imports are negatively affected by import prices. This implies that as the imported prices increase, less quantity is imported. In view of the fact that the Uganda shillings has been depreciating against major currencies lately, this implies domestic prices will be sky rocketing for all imported commodities including rice. Thus, this may be good for our farmers, if they could produce enough to substitute for the imports. But as observed in other studies, the Government of Uganda is not giving adequate support to the sector in terms of infrastructure and extension services. Thus it is recommended that the Government of Uganda increases support to the sector if the stated goal of rice self sufficient is to be realized.
