On March 24, 2026, Makerere University Business School (MUBS) took part in a high-level Banana Sector Strategy Review convened by the Banana Industrial Research and Development Centre (@birdcuganda). As a key stakeholder, MUBS contributed strategic insights in marketing, enterprise development, and value chain optimization to support the development of a country-wide banana sector strategy for FY 2026/27–2030/31. The engagement reaffirmed MUBS’ commitment to driving research-led, market-oriented solutions that enhance value addition, expand market access and promote sustainable growth within Uganda’s agro-industrial sector.

MUBS top management today participated in a High-Level Stakeholder Engagement Forum on the Banana Sector Strategy (2026–2031), hosted at the PIBIB/BIRDC Secretariat in Kampala. The engagement focused on aligning the strategy with NDP IV and Vision 2040, with emphasis on commercialization to position the banana sector as a competitive, inclusive, and export-oriented industry. As a business school, MUBS is committed to supporting this transformation through market development, capacity building, and innovative business solutions. @rachelmindra @ProfMuhwezi #MUBS #BananaSector #Vision2040 #EconomicTransformation
