Uganda, Kapchorwa. January 2009

Annet Muchas, 25 years old, harvests maize in Kapchorwa, Uganda. She and her husbands’ harvest yields approximately 20 bags per season, of which they sell a quarter to generate cash to support their family. This maize will bring them approximately 250,000 Ugandan Shillings or $150 US dollars. The World Food Program has created a local purchase program to assist local farmers in market and agricultural support programs pumping millions of dollars into the local economy.

Uganda is one of WFP’s biggest suppliers of locally purchased food. Through local purchases and the Purchase for Progress (P4P) initiative, WFP is exploring a major opportunity to help the Government address agricultural development needs in surplus-producing regions.

The volume of WFP’s annual local purchases can provide strong production incentives to smallholders. When food prices are high, demand from local communities may diminish; however, WFP as a stable, major buyer will
provide assured demand for the goods. Currently, the country office purchases most of its maize grain and beans within the country. By expanding the range of food products procured, WFP should be able to significantly increase its local purchases while diversifying the diet of beneficiaries.
