Abstract:
The study looked into the variables influencing the demand for meat production in Kampala's Nakasero market. The study's three main goals were to ascertain the relationship between the price of meat and the need for meat production, the relationship between the price of livestock and the demand for meat production, and the relationship between consumer income and the desire for meat. A sample of 60 participants out of 100 participated in the study, which used a cross-sectional research design, and data were collected utilizing an interview protocol. The explanatory factors' causal relationship with production of meat was examined using a multiple linear regression model. The study's findings showed that the regression model produced an R-Squared of 0.726, indicating that the price of meat, the dimensions of the residence, and the income of the customer account for 72.6% of variations in the amount of meat purchased, while other factors not included in the model account for 27.4% of those variations. Since the independent factors included in the study (meat price, household size, and consumer's income) have a predictive power on the predictor variables, the F-Statistic was likewise significant because its p-value (0.0000) was less than 0.05. (quantity of meat). Demand for meat was significantly impacted by both the price of meat and the user's income, with price reducing demand by 17% and income increasing demand by 31%. Although the influence of households on meat demand decreased by 11%, it was not statically important. The price of livestock was also found by livestock traders to have a negative effect on manufacturing levels. Farm-gate price (37%) was cited as the main factor that influences livestock price, followed by the cost of purchasing livestock on the open market and the price of substitute foods (18.5%), the cost of transporting livestock (14.8%), and government levies on animals (11%).
