THE Government will continue supporting investors in the food industry to enable them market their products locally and internationally, the Uganda Investment Authority’s (UIA) director, Chris Ssenabulya, has said.
Ssenabulya said this while opening Ahmed Raza Food Industries’ factory in Kawempe, Kampala. The factory manufactures Everyday Glucose Milk biscuits.
He said UIA encourages investors to produce for the local and foreign markets because this will help the country earn more foreign exchange.
Ssenabulya said foreign investors stimulate economic growth and diversify exports.
The factory’s director, H C Alal, said the company plans to start producing sweets, juices, yoghurt, bread and baking flour soon.
“We are committed to ensuring that we invest more and offer employments opportunities to Ugandans,†he said.
