Climate Shocks and Supply Chain Resilience in Ugandan Agriculture: A Policy Analysis
Abstract
Climate shocks are increasingly affecting agricultural productivity in Uganda, posing challenges to supply chain resilience. A qualitative review of existing policies, stakeholder interviews, and a thematic analysis of case studies from selected agricultural regions. Analysis reveals significant variability in climate impact across different regions with some areas experiencing up to 40% yield losses during extreme weather events. Current policies show limited effectiveness in mitigating climate risks; there is a need for more proactive and region-specific interventions. Implement tailored insurance schemes, enhance early warning systems, and promote resilient agricultural practices among smallholder farmers.
