What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

President Yoweri Museveni called on Uganda to stop exporting raw materials and instead invest in processing and manufacturing. He stated that Uganda must shift from being a market for imported goods to a production hub. The government aims to grow the economy tenfold, from its current value of about $50bn, to $500bn by 2040. Sanjay Tanna, Trade, Industry and Cooperatives Minister, read the speech at the 32nd Uganda International Trade Fair in Kampala.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The policy shift targets industrialization and value addition across sectors like agro-processing, steel, and electronics. This move aims to capture economic opportunities previously lost by exporting unprocessed resources. The government's National Development Plan IV is designed to drive this industrialization, production, and investment.
