Uganda: Exporter Guide

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   KE2025-0017
Uganda presents potential for U.S. agricultural exporters, driven by steady economic growth, urbanization, and shifting consumer preferences toward high-quality, convenient, and safe food products. Demand is increasing for imported goods such as cereals, edible oils, and processed foods. The rapid expansion of modern retail and food service outlets particularly in urban centers offers strategic entry points for U.S. suppliers. Uganda remains a net food importer due to limited local processing capacity and seasonal production gaps. This Exporter Guide provides practical insights to support U.S. exporters, including how to navigate regulatory requirements, establish partnerships with local distributors, and tailor pricing strategies to meet market dynamics.
