| dc.description.abstract | The study sought to establish the challenges that farmers are facing in onion production in Buwabwala Sub- County, Namisindwa District. The study was guided by specific research objectives which included describing the state of onion production, finding out the factors limiting production and determining the factors that facilitate production in Buwabwala Sub- County, Namisindwa District. The study used descriptive survey design and a case study was Buwabwala Sub- County, Namisindwa District. The study used simple random sampling and purposive sampling during research study. The study used a sample size of 50 respondents in the research. The study used both quantitative and qualitative design. It employed questionnaires and data was analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The findings revealed that onion production has generally increased over time due to advancements in agricultural technologies, improved crop varieties, and expanding global demand, onion production is influenced by various factors, including soil fertility, water availability, temperature, sunlight, and pest management, onion producers often face challenges such as unpredictable weather conditions, pests, and diseases that can impact crop yields. Besides, the study showed that shortage of skilled labor impact production capabilities, limited access to raw materials directly affects onion production output, technological limitations play a significant role in restricting production capacity, inadequate infrastructure hinder the production process, environmental regulations limit onion production activities and market demand is a limiting factor in onion production. In addition, the findings show that efficient resource allocation important for facilitating production, technological advancements help in improving production processes, skilled labor contribute to increased production output, maintaining good infrastructure play a crucial role in facilitating production, and stable economic conditions encourage. The researcher recommends that educating farmers on proper harvesting techniques, curing, and storage practices to minimize losses and maintain onion quality. | |
