There is certainly no way back in the movement of food prices in Uganda especially in the face of rising population and external demand for the food in the East African block. This has certainly impacted on people's budgets as they have to cut back on other expenses to afford food. The ever growing importance of cereals in the country means the state has got to come up with measures to alleviate the incidence/possibility of hunger if its to keep it's people alive and healthy and if continued economic development is to be realized. Analytical price models like the ones herein should certainly enable the relevant authorities to develop and execute policies that will ensure people's ability to not only survive in the face of rising prices but to also take good advantage of the situation to produce more rice and maize for export in a bid to increase their incomes.
