Abstract
The study examined the effect of land fragmentation on agricultural productivity in Uganda. The land fragmentation were the independent variables while agricultural productivity was the dependent variable. The study adopted a triangulation design consisting of a correlation design which was quantitative in approach and cross sectional in nature. The study population consisted of one hundred ninety-six members from whom a sample of two hundred five two elements was drawn using Krejcie and Morgan method. A combination of census, proportionate stratified random sampling and simple random sampling techniques were employed in selecting members from different strata into the study sample. Two data collection methods namely structured questionnaire consisting of closed questions with five-point likert scale and interview guide were used in collecting primary data. The collected data was presented using frequency tables and pie charts which were analyzed by SPSS. From the findings, it was observed that 98 (50%) of the respondents strongly agreed to the fact that Land inheritance led to land fragmentation because it was divided among the children or beneficiaries of the diseased thus leading to fragmentation 39 (20%) agreed, 29 (15%) were not sure and 8 (15%) disagreed. It therefore implies that Land inheritance leads to land fragmentation because it was divided among the children or beneficiaries of the diseased thus leading to fragmentation. The researcher further recommends that free modern farming education should be extended to all areas and prioritized.
