The Uganda Export Promotions Board is intent on maintaining current export markets as well as seeking more markets for the country’s various exports.
To achieve this, the board has strengthen trace ability through registration of all producers of fruits and vegetables for exports as part of efforts to ensure compliance to international sanitary standards, especially in the horticulture sector.
The Board’s executive director Dr. Elly Twineyo says that interceptions of Uganda exports over standards have tremendously reduced. It was also noted that there is no ban on Uganda’s exports to the European market.
Ministry of agriculture last month put in place rigid and serious interventions to avert and protect the country’s export market including development and strengthening the online certification system with enhanced security features, and capacity building of exporting companies, to comply with the market requirements of destination markets among others.
