EXPORT MARKET & MARKET PRESENCE

Background

From 2020 to 2023, Uganda’s export trend has generally shown growth across the five regional blocks as represented in the graph attached:

PACEID continues to pursue the rich buyer networks that were established over the last two years of existence. This is because markets are an incentive to production and productivity yet few producers in Uganda start with this in mind. We have funded the supply side in an increasing way by provision of roads, power, water and now Parish Development Model (PDM) but have had less focus on the markets and the needs of the final consumer.

Trade Representatives

Continued to be invaluable in better understanding difficult markets like DRC, which is boosting traders’ confidence to do business. Through their efforts, trade visits to Uganda by businesses from the UK, USA, South Africa and Serbia were organised and concluded. These visits highlighted above all, that there is an urgent need to grow exporter capacity to service the growing export demand. The UK Trade Representative, for example, has a ready database of 2000 buyers interested in buying from Uganda. We face increasingly better and diversified off-takers as Uganda now, given the retail media and publicity over the last year but with few suppliers ready. We have a constrained supply chain in the country as a major issue to work on in the coming year.
