110 words
Beef production in Uganda is estimated at an average of 160,000
metric tones per year giving the national meat consumption per
capita in Uganda as 11 kg which is lower than the 40 kg
recommended by the World Health Organization. The present
study aims at evaluating market opportunities for good quality
meat in Uganda. The Heckman 2-step model will be used to
determine factors that influence the sales of quality meat. A
probit model will be used to establish factors that influence
traders’ choice of type of meat (beef) they stock. Results
generated from this study will contribute to policy formulations
of improved quality standards of meat in the country.
