Gender gaps in crop productivity can negatively affect rural socio-economic development of agrarian economies with serious implications for food and nutrition security. We assess productivity in men- and women-managed sorghum plots in Lira, Kumi, and Serere districts in Uganda. We find men-managed plots have higher productivity of 850.6 kgs/ha compared to women-managed plots (832.6 kgs/ha). An observed mean gender gap of 18 per cent due to structural advantages of men's plots (57 per cent), structural disadvantages of women's plots (33 per cent), and endowment (10 per cent) exists. Therefore, interventions aimed at promoting equitable access to institutional support services are paramount in reducing structural disadvantages against women farmers.
