Horticulture is among the fastest growing agricultural subsectors in Uganda. However, limited attention has been given to the strategic marketing of its produce. Therefore this study is assessing the effect of institutional, infrastructural and socioeconomic factors on smallholders’ access to citrus market. Preliminary results indicate that quantity of output, output price and point of sale affect access to market.
