Moisture meters price range in Uganda

What Drives Where a Meter Falls in This Price Spectrum

To understand why two moisture meters might cost very differently, here are the main factors:

1. Accuracy and Error Margin — The tighter the error allowed, the more expensive the sensors and calibration.

2. Sample Size Capacity — Meters that can test larger samples (e.g. 100-150g or more), or multiple grain types, cost more.

3. Extra Features — Probe vs non-probe, temperature measurement / compensation, auto shut-off, backlight display, alerts, data hold etc.

4. Brand / Import / Warranty — Known brands cost more; also import duties, shipping, and whether warranty & after-sales service are available locally.

5. Durability & Build — Those made for harsh field conditions, rugged casing, better protection against dust & moisture cost more.
