    Maize variety options for Africa: Uganda
    (CIMMYT, 2015) Abate, T.; Makumbi, D.; Regasa, M.W.; Asea, G.; Wawa, B.
    Maize is the most important cereal in Uganda. Annual rates of growth for area, yield and production were 4.5%, 4.0% and 8.9%, respectively, between 2000 and 2013. Improved maize variety releases in Uganda between 2007 and 2014 grew by 46% in comparison to the 2000 to 2006 period.
