马铃薯的栽培技术估计是由刚果的传教士在20世纪初引入乌干达的。到20世纪中叶,这一块茎作物被广泛种植在该国气候凉爽的高原地区——实际上,在某些地区,这种作物生长非常茂盛,以至于被视为一种杂草。
在20世纪60年代,乌干达农业部启动了马铃薯开发计划,使平均产量提高到每公顷10吨。在20世纪70年代,马铃薯产量突破35万吨,但在随后十年的普遍内乱期间则出现大幅下滑。
自1990年以来,马铃薯生产得到恢复,从22.4万吨上升到2007年创记录的65万吨。在同一时期,马铃薯的种植面积增加了两倍,达到大约9万公顷。该国几乎有一半的收成来自实行集约化生产的卡巴莱高地,其海拔高度在2000米以上,位于坎帕拉西南约400千米处。
