Abstract
Since the early 1990s, Uganda has implemented a number of reforms in the agricultural sector.
However, in the past 10 years, the performance of the sector has lagged behind other sectors
particularly services and industry. There are concerns among researchers and policy analysts
that institutional constraints in agriculture play a central role in the lacklustre agricultural
performance registered during the 2000s. This study examines the institutional constraints
affecting agricultural production in Uganda. We recommend reforming the land tenure system
as well as the architecture of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries as
means of dealing with the major constraints.
