Manufacturing

Uganda’s manufacturing sector is dominated by small and medium enterprises (93.5%) with most mainly engaged in end-product assembly. The Government of Uganda is interested in having the sector producing finished products for export rather than the export of raw materials and semi-processed products. There are investment opportunities in all aspects of the manufacturing sector in Uganda, but particularly in value additions to Ugandan products especially in the areas of agro-processing, technological upgrading, steel production, cement, cotton, minerals, etc.
