    Marine capture fisheries have developed very quickly in the past decade as reflected by the rapid increase in the number of fishing vessels. Total fishing effort has grown from 42,779 vessels in 1975 to 273,978 in 1995 or in terms of horsepower from 2,150,000 kW to 9,801,000 kW. Meanwhile total catch increased from 2,773,000 tonnes to 10,268,000 tonnes during the same period. Due to the continued increase in fishing effort, some important fish stocks (except for some pelagic species and sq uids) are in serious threat. Most of the stocks experienced both “growth” and “recruitment” overfishing. The species composition of catches has shown some changes associated with the increase in catch. The number of species of low trophic level (e.g. mackerels, anchovies, and shrimps) and other immature fish has risen in recent years. Various management measures have been introduced including the licensing scheme, protection (conservation) area and closed season. Yet, fisheries management s till faces immense challenges. Those include low-level of awareness of management concept among stakeholders, weakness in law enforcement and inadequate funds for fisheries research in support of management.

    Food loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste.
