South Korea and developing countries like Uganda have sought to re-energize their agriculture sector growth using 6th Industrialization of Agriculture strategies. These strategies seek to upgrade farming households from just being producers or primary industry players to participants in the secondary and tertiary industry. This convergence is known as 1x2x3 = 6th Industrialization. This involves farmers strengthening production and investing in higher value chain activities such as agrotourism, agro-processing, farm restaurants, and the export market. These developments are driven by investment in institutional arrangements and technology that is often beyond the capacity of individual farming households as well as some farmer organizations and cooperatives. Qualitative approaches were used to draw lessons from two typical rice farmer organizations and two rice value addition groups and other sector players to investigate group formation dyanamics and the capacity of farmer organizations to attain goals for grouping. The results show being a member of a farmer organization increases access to inputs such as machinery, however, the key determinant to joining is trust/mistrust of leadership. In regard to attainment of 6th Industrialization, farmer organizations still have to hassle with uncertainty of marketing a new 6th industry product. Nevertheless farmer organizations seem closer to attaining the 6th industry goal due to exposure to primary processing and export business. Some implications have been drawn for Korea as well as localization to Uganda’s situation.
