Abstract

This paper employs the Trade-off Analysis-Minimum Data (TOA-MD) model to assess trade-offs and impacts on poverty reduction associated with adoption of poultry technologies. The technologies considered were the poultry types; the Layers, Kuroilers and Broilers and the feeding technologies; processed feeds and semi-processed feeds. The data used was collected from 301 poultry rearing households sampled from three peri-urban divisions of Kampala district. Taking the Broiler poultry type as the base system, the potential aggregate adoption rates of Layers and Kuroilers for meat production were 25% and 40% respectively. It would require an incentive payment of USD 1,317 and USD 210 per farm per year to encourage adoption of Layers and Kuroilers to 50%, which would make adoption expensive. Taking the Layer as the base system, the potential aggregate adoption rate of Kuroilers for egg production was 39%. An incentive payment of USD 290 per farm per year is required to promote adoption of Kuroilers for egg production among Layer farmers. The potential adoption rates of processed feeds would be 49%, 40% and 32% among Broiler, Kuroiler and Layer farmers respectively. The incentive payment required to raise adoption of processed feeds to 50% is USD 23, USD 560 and USD 593 per farm per year amongest Broiler, Layer, and Kuroiler farmers respectively. It would therefore be cheaper to incentivise adoption of processed feeds among Broiler farmers. Positive impacts on poverty reduction among adopters would be 12 times in Broiler than Layer farmers, while they would be negative among Kuroiler farmers.
