Rate of return to agricultural research in Uganda : the case of oilseeds and maize
The objectives of this rate of return study are as follows: (1) determination of the rate of return to previous investments by USAID and Government of Uganda in soybean, sunflower, and maize research in Uganda; and (2) determination of the potential returns to future investment in research on each of the major oilseeds in Uganda (soybean, sunflower, groundnut, and sesame).

Abstract
This analysis will systematically consider the impact of other aspects of the technology transfer system (extension, input markets, and product markets) as well as key fiscal policies, on returns to oilseed research. This paper is intended to address primarily the first objective of determining the ex-post rate of return (ROR) to maize, sunflower, and soybean research. To a more limited extent, it will also discuss the anticipated returns to ongoing research in these three commodity programs and outputs expected within the next four years. (Author abstract)
