slightly for both countries, though more so for Kenya than for Uganda. However, examining the index of food production over the same time period, shows that Kenya has made more progress than Uganda. In per capita terms, food production index increased by 5 index points, Kenya’s while that of Uganda decreased by 20 index points during 1982 and 2011. Clearly, taking the future challenges (like continuing high population growth and climate change) into account, both countries need to make major investments in agriculture if they want to be able to feed their population in the future.
