Uganda is one of the few countries in the world that anyone can easily own land or even lease it, and this simply because there is not much development especially in the country side. I believe this would present great opportunities for companies and individuals looking to invest in commercial agriculture.
I therefore believe that before we talk of industrializing Uganda and Africa, we should seriously consider investing in Agriculture because there so much unused and under utilized fertile land. Uganda is able to feed her fast growing population even when 97% of the farming is still substantial, not mechanized and relies solely on rain water. This therefore implies that if Uganda can improve her farming by mechanizing at least 20% of her farming, then she will be well on her way to becoming a food basket for the entire great lakes region, something she is already doing for South Sudan and Kenya even with her substantial food production.
