Uganda is poised to significantly boost its non-oil export portfolio, setting an impressive goal of $6 billion by 2028. This forward-looking plan highlights Uganda’s commitment to expanding its international trade and export sectors, with a focus on agricultural and industrial products.
The country’s strategic initiative includes enhancing exports of a diverse range of agricultural goods, such as bananas, various fruits, and vegetables, as well as promoting tourism. This ambitious target aims to capitalize on Uganda's rich agricultural resources, including citrus fruits, pineapples, mangoes, and passion fruits, to drive economic growth and enhance global trade relations.
The announcement was made at the 2nd Indonesia Africa Forum in Bali, a platform dedicated to fostering stronger trade and economic ties between Indonesia and Africa. The forum's theme, "Bandung Spirit for Africa's Agenda 2063," underscores the shared commitment to sustainable and inclusive growth, reflecting the spirit of cooperation and mutual benefit in international trade.
Uganda's focus on expanding its export capabilities and diversifying its trade portfolio positions it as a key player in the global market, with promising prospects for economic development and trade enhancement.
