In a young country, it is encouraging to see young women entrepreneurs who wake up daily ‘ fighting’ to reduce our hard currency expenditure by raising sales in external markets.
Agnes Netunze Kitumba, who PACIED has worked with along with Bob of PureGrow, has demonstrated the value of partnership on fruits, vegetables, and leather foe exports. Today, we broke ground for their upcoming 30-acre facility in Nakifuma, Mukono, to aggregate and process cocoa for export, and also to build an eco-tourism lodge, given the beauty of this location.

Uganda's leather & textile products are gaining recognition globally, making it a promising sector for export, thanks its access to high-quality raw materials
To support the sector's expansion, government has established various initiatives/policies; including tax incentives for leather and textile manufacturers, development of industrial parks dedicated to the sector.

H.E @KagutaMuseveni and the Serbia president opened the first Uganda Trade Hub "UGANDA CONNECT" in Belgrade to strengthen bilateral ties between Uganda and Serbia, unlocking export opportunities in the Balkans region.

H.E.@KagutaMuseveni today officially opened the Uganda Trade Hub “UGANDA CONNECT” in Belgrade. The hub will strengthen bilateral relations between Uganda and Serbia and pave the way for Uganda’s goods and services in the Balkans region. Uganda Connect hub in Serbia is the first of a couple of similar outlets that will be opened in several export markets to accelerate entry of Uganda’s products in key markets in the region and beyond. The trade hub will drive awareness of Uganda through crafted physical spaces that encourage dialogue and discovery to connect Uganda to the world. Using Coffee, Investment and Tourism opportunities showcased at the hub, Serbians will learn and taste Uganda’s products and services. Based on a survey by PACEID, the initial focus will be on Pineapples, Avocado, Coffee, Flowers, Matooke mashed powder and peeled, Mangoes, Vanilla, Biltong (dried beef), Uganda Waragi and Flavored liquor which already have demand. The market testing to introduce these products into supermarkets and other retail shops will continue for 6 months after the launch. The Serbian government and private sector also indicated a strong interest in Tourism, Education, telecommunication and data sectors among others. PACEID is tasked with improving Uganda’s foreign earnings from the current USD6BN to USD12bn and beyond.

Combining English, South Slavic language & Luganda to get awareness for our country’s products. Uganda needs to end the ‘Idi Amin’ tag & rise above the negative perception we meet wherever we go. Our children should feel proud to grow, work & compete with the world. We can do it!

It's wrap up day in #Uganda after an extremely full schedule of the past couple weeks. I am used to being the hardest working person I know, but I know when I've been bested. The #PACEID team @SpecialDuties_ and @Odrek_Rwabwogo run circles around me. But there is so much to be optimistic about for the future of this country. Incredible young entrepreneurs like Agnes from @ssekodesigns; let me call them "industry re-creators" like Rev. Florence @floriemura and team at @tookeonline and absolutely the folks at @KiiraMotors with Africa's first electric bus; and people who are putting people and the planet ahead of profits like Qureshi and team at #Zahrafoods -- these are some of the folks that make me excited about working for and representing the #PearlofAfrica. And many of you that I've been meeting here on Twitter. I'm grateful for you. I'm just one mzungu with shallow pockets. But I have a big heart and a bigger God. I don't always have the strongest faith, but only a mustard seed is needed to move the mountains in front of us. They shall move. Amen? @Kateshd @UIDC_TOURS @OPMUganda @RobieKakonge_ @HenriettaWamala
