Uganda Market Overview

Uganda enjoys a unique location at the heart of Sub-Saharan Africa within the East African region. It is bordered by Sudan in the north, Kenya in the east, the United Republic of Tanzania in the south, Rwanda in the southwest, and the Democratic Republic of Congo in the west. Uganda is a founding member of the East African Community and one of the fastest and youngest growing populations in the world creating a substantial consumer market. Uganda’s landlocked position and comparative advantages in agriculture and one of the largest oil reserves in the region gives the country a strategic commanding base to be a regional hub for trade and investment.

With a well regulated and highly liberalized trade and foreign exchange economy, Uganda enjoys pivotal trade partnerships that create a viable market for business.
