Abstract Background: This study examined the effects of Operation Wealth Creation (OWC) on rural household food security in Rugarama Sub-County, Ntungamo District. The objectives were To determine the effect of agricultural input provision on crop yields and food security among rural households in Rugarama Sub-County. To assess the effectiveness of agricultural extension services in improving farming practices, knowledge transfer, and overall food security in rural households. To evaluate the role of market access and linkage support in improving farmers' incomes and their capacity to achieve food security.
Methodology: The study employed a descriptive cross-sectional survey design using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. A sample of 141 respondents was selected through simple random and purposive sampling techniques, with data collected using questionnaires and interview guides. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically.
Results: The main findings revealed that agricultural input provision under OWC significantly boosted crop yields and household food availability, while extension services positively influenced farming practices and knowledge transfer. Provision of Agricultural Inputs (β = 0.215, p-value = 0.001) has a positive and significant effect, indicating that increased input provision leads to higher crop production levels. Provision of Agricultural Inputs (β = 0.192, p-value = 0.002) has a positive and significant effect on livestock numbers and output. For household food stocks, the provision of Agricultural Inputs (β = 0.182, p-value = 0.006) significantly increases food stocks. For the food price index, the results show that Provision of Agricultural Inputs (β = 0.152, p-value = 0.031) significantly affects food prices, with a positive relationship suggesting that agricultural input provision helps stabilize food prices
Conclusion: Provision of agricultural inputs under Operation Wealth Creation (OWC) has significantly improved food production in Rugarama Sub-County, though its impact is constrained by irregular supply, poor targeting, and inadequate sensitization. It was therefore recommended that there is need to enhance the consistency and coverage of OWC services, improve rural infrastructure, and ensure equitable access to agricultural resources and markets.
