COMMENT | As of 14th July 2022, fuel pump prices were racing towards a record sh7,000 per litre in Kampala as the fear of disruption to the supply of fuel increased across the country.
The timing could not have been worse for the architects of the Parish Development Model, as ministry of finance experts grapple to contain likely effects of the rise in fuel prices on all sectors of the economy.
With commercial agriculture at the core of PDM, experts have a lot more to worry about. PDM success is tagged on four sectors, led by commercializing agriculture.
Commercializing agriculture requires four or so basic things, namely; land as principle requirement, capital to procure farm needs, labor both skilled and casuals, market for the produce and transportation of the ready products. All the above-mentioned critical enablers of commercial agriculture require mobility which supported by fuel.
