2015-06-01 08:56:10| Sugar Industry News
Of recent, the media has been awash with stories depicting a lack of competitiveness of Uganda\'s agricultural sector vis-a-vis other countries visited by Ugandan progressive farmers. The American Chamber of Commerce in Uganda organised an expo in Kampala dubbed Generation Agripreneur: Shaping the next 25 years of Ugandan agri-business\' with lessons on the traits of the typical American farmer. What the stories inform the public is that despite Uganda enjoying a Comparative Advantage GOD\'s NATURAL BLESSING\' relative to other countries, agricultural productivity remains low. The stories contribute to the current debate on Global Value Chains and Competition; the Name of the Game Today. The pressure of competition is being felt due to the globalisation of industries, as they strive to create and capture value across processes that are dispersed in space and time through coordinated value chains (VCs).
