Determinants of Governance Structure Choice among Beekeepers in Northern Uganda
(Agricultural Sciences, 2022-01-29) Akidi, Irene L.; Mshenga, Patience M.; Mugonola, Basil
The study provides an understanding of how smallholder beekeepers in northern Uganda select among alternative governance structures. Primary data was collected from a random sample of 408 beekeepers in Lira, Kitgum, and Yumbe districts. A multivariate Probit model was used to establish the factors that determine the choice of governance structure selected by the beekeepers. Results from a multivariate Probit model analysis showed that the choice of governance structure was significantly influenced by training, dis tance to the market, social capital index, education, annual income, land for beekeeping, and the various attributes of a transaction. However, the beekee per’s age and beekeeping experience had no significant effect on the choice of governance structure chosen by the beekeeper. The study suggests that fur ther research is needed into the impact of selected governance structures on a beekeepers’ income.
