Uganda Value-Added Maize Alliance
(Uganda): The Uganda Value-Added Maize Alliance is a public-private partnership Global Development Alliance with a local maize-processing firm (and other resource partners) for a three-year activity valued at $9.8 million; the partners will contribute $7.2 million and the Mission will leverage this with $2.6 million in USAID funds. The alliance intends to increase the capacity of farmers to produce high-quality maize and aggregate this production so that the private sector will have a reliable supply of inputs for maize processing. The 9,500 participating smallholder farmer households will receive a 30% price premium paid for higher quality maize and experience a 50% reduction in current post-harvest losses at the village level, and the partners will invest in processing equipment and facilities to produce maize bran and germ, as well as corn syrup; all products that have a viable market in Uganda up the value chain to food processers and beverage producers who will realize significant cost-savings from locally produced syrup, bran and germ.
