Export from Uganda

Uganda's economy generates export income from coffee ($466.6 million annually), tea, fish, and other products. The country has commenced economic reforms and growth has been robust. 

The country has substantial natural resources, including fertile soils, regular rainfall, and sizeable mineral deposits of copper and cobalt. It has largely untapped reserves of both crude oil and natural gas. Agriculture is the most important sector of the economy, employing over two-thirds of the work force. Coffee accounts for the bulk of export revenues. 

Traditionally depending on Kenya for access to the Indian Ocean port of Mombasa, Uganda makes efforts to establish a second access route to the sea via the lakeside ports of Bukasa in Uganda and Musoma in Tanzania, connected by railway to Arusha in the Tanzanian interior and to the port of Tanga on the Indian Ocean. Uganda is a member of the East African Community and a potential member of the planned East African Federation.

Uganda exports agricultural products (80 percent of total exports). The most important export of Uganda is coffee followed by tea, cotton, copper, oil, fish, raw tobacco, refined petroleum, fish fillets and cement.  

Main export partners of Uganda are Sudan, Kenya, DR Congo, Netherlands, Germany, South Africa and UAE. 

 

Import to Uganda

The economy of Uganda has great potential, and it appeared poised for rapid economic growth and development. Uganda is a member of the World Trade Organization. 

Most industry is related to agriculture. Rich with significant natural resources, including ample fertile land, regular rainfall, and mineral deposits, it is thought that Uganda could feed all of Africa if it were commercially farmed.

The industrial sector is being rehabilitated to resume production of building and construction materials, such as cement, reinforcing rods, corrugated roofing sheets, and paint. Domestically produced consumer goods include plastics, soap, cork, beer, and soft drinks. Major Cement manufacturers like 'Tororo Cement Ltd' caters to the need of building and construction material consumers across East Africa.

Uganda imports mainly oil (24 percent of total imports) followed by pharmaceutical products, capital goods, cars, palm oil and telephones.

Uganda’s main import partners are Kenya, UAE, Japan, China and India.
