Exporters have been told to focus on goods, services and bio trade

Exporters have been told to focus on goods, services and bio trade, reports Doreen Kansiime.

President Museveni said this in a speech read by trade state minister, Jennifer Namuyangu, at a certificate awarding ceremony for 160 Kampala traders who had finished an exports training programme.
Museveni said, “Bio trade offers a market for many of Uganda’s resources. We have 5,000 plants and 156 mammals in that category.” Bio trade deals with natural products.

He said Government was determined to support export trade through projects like Strategic Exports Plan and Plan for Modernisation of Agriculture.
