Importance of agricultural development

Investors consider Uganda's agricultural potential to be among the best in Africa, with low temperature variations, fertile soil, and two rainy seasons in most parts of the country, which can harvest multiple crops each year.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Uganda's fertile agricultural land has the potential to feed 200 million people.

80% of Uganda's land is arable, but only 35% is being cultivated. Agriculture accounts for about 24% of GDP and 35% of export revenues in the 2022/23 fiscal year. UBOS estimates that about 68% of Uganda's working population is engaged in agriculture.

Uganda produces a variety of agricultural products, including coffee, tea, sugar, livestock, fish, cooking oil, cotton, tobacco, plantains, corn, beans, cassava, sweet potatoes, millet, sorghum and peanuts.

Uganda's agricultural sector offers a variety of high-profit investment opportunities for profitable investment and cooperation.

As one of the 55 member states of the African Union, Uganda's agricultural development has been steadily accelerating and is listed as one of the top 20 countries in terms of achieving the development goals of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP).
