dc.description.abstractCooking banana is the main staple crop in Uganda produced mostly by smallholders for food and income (Kalyebara et al., 2005). Lescot (2015) reported an average annual banana production of about 8.9 million metric tons. Haggblade and Dewina (2010) reported an annual per capita consumption of 172kg/person/year, making Uganda the largest consumer in the world. Selling cooking banana by visual inspection without measuring its weight is a common practice in East and central Africa. This system is very subjective and thus considered inefficient as it presents a huge risk of economic losses along the value chain. In some instances, cooking banana is weighed, for instance at wholesale level in Rwanda (Bauer, 2011) and at export level in Uganda (Nalunga et al., 2015). Attempts to introduce weighing at farm level have proved to be futile. This study assesses the perceptions towards and willingness to adopt a weightbased pricing system (WPS) in the cooking banana value chain in Ugandaen_US
