Problem statement
Agricultural marketing plays an important role in the stimulating production, consumption and also accelerating the pace of economic development. Marketing gives signals to increase the production and there by ensures the availability of goods and services. If marketing activity is improved /developed, demand for goods increases, production increases and therefore more demand for inputs. In the market environment, consumers, competitors, intermediaries and suppliers are the key variables that influence an enterprise/business. The trades being an intermediary between the farmers in the rural areas and the consumers/suppliers, largely depend on the suppliers to run their business since they provide capital to the trades, As a way of improving marketing, Saving and credit schemes were set up in the markets such that the traders become apart of the suppliers of capital, that’s to say their own suppliers of capital through saving with and borrowing from the SACCO than depending entirely on consumers. SACCOs, through their activities of advancement of loans, accumulation of client’s savings and educating traders have helped in managing and expanding their purchases and sales/ revenue. Therefore the purpose in of the study in general is to understand the social and economic change created by the saving and credit schemes among the traders in the main general markets in Kampala but mainly aimed at establishing whether saving and credit contribute to the growth of purchases (restock) and sales/revenues of market traders.
