Abstract
Doubt is often cast over the accuracy of the official statistics on crops, made public as FAOSTAT, for developing countries, particularly those in sub-Sahara Africa. This paper examines the recent revisions made in the ‘official’ rice statistics of Uganda, together with the rice-related statistics of the latest Uganda Census of Agriculture, to point out some anomalies in these basic rice statistics, and proposes possible revisions of the ‘official’ series.
