Increasing Uganda's Productive Capacity
Uganda mostly exports agricultural products (80 per cent of total exports). In order to diversify and improve the economy, primary focus has been put on agricultural product exports as a means of stimulating growth.
We are undertaking Research and Development into value addition for:
Bee industry:
Sweet Potatoes

Local manufacture of school laboratory supplies:
Promoting Import Substitution Industrialization
With the goal of increasing domestic productivity, import substitution and
export of products resulting from Science, Technology, and Innovation, the
Secretariat has embarked on these projects;
Presidential Initiative on Banana Industrial Development (PIBID)
We have collaborated with PIBID to fast-track the entry into the market of banana value-added products and implement a go-to-market strategy to ensure self-sustainability in the medium term.
Textiles and Garments Industry
We have completed countrywide stakeholder mapping for the textile and garments industry which will inform follow-up interventions for value-addition and product marketing
Support “Made in Uganda” Goods
As we take a leap from a traditional economy to the new economy, let’s support our BUBU initiative under the "Made In Uganda" Supermarket which aims to prioritize locally produced goods that are fit for export.
