Uganda loses billions in cross-border trade — Study

Additional inefficiencies on the Uganda-Tanzania border alone cost the country $16m directly, and up to $95m indirectly, affecting transporters, logistics companies and traders.

“Uganda’s trade has been shrinking. In 2023, it exported commodities worth over $6b, but last year, that dropped to $5.67b. That means there has been a deduction in exports,” Maku said.
