Uganda’s Export Reality: Big Wins, Bigger Hurdles
Uganda’s GDP is projected to grow by 7.5% in 2025, driven by oil exports (targeting $8.6B/year) and agricultural commodities like coffee (already generating $1.14B in FY2023–24. Uganda’s exports hit $6.9B in 2023 – but behind the numbers lie frustrations you know too well:
Growing global demand for value-added products (e.g., roasted beans)
Uganda’s top export ($3.16B in 2023) with untapped refining potential.
Fish, fruits, and vegetables face high EU/UK demand but require rapid financing due to spoilage risks.
