of the mechanisms through which knowledge can be generated to inform decisions and actions for
improving agricultural productivity. It was against this background that study to identify constraints
and opportunities in the maize grain value chain in Ruwenzori region was done. This research on
maize trade was conducted to provide a precursor for in-depth value chain analysis. A survey of buyers
