| description | Key Recommendations:
Feed the Future Uganda should
• Investigate barriers to adoption by input wholesalers/dealers of a mindset focusing on delivering greater value to
customers
• Examine how output actors selling inputs affects the inputs value chain
Market facilitation projects should
• Design monitoring strategies that address both the need for longitudinal data and the need for widespread,
adaptive measurement
• Understand and account for delays in reaping benefits of changes |

This study focuses on the “inputs subsystem”: the part of the value chain that enables farmers to access inputs such as fertilizer and seeds. We aimed to understand whether and to what extent expected changes were occurring in the last four years of FTF-VC work by asking “How has the inputs “subsystem” been changing over time?” We focus on changes in key behaviors and relationships targeted by the FTF-VC project, and how they have manifested in three types of actors (see Figure 1): wholesalers and input dealers (or “agrodealers”), farmers, and output value chain actors (such as collectors / village agents or traders) who are involved in the inputs value chain.
