Uganda’s agricultural sector faces mounting challenges as EU deforestation regulations threaten €2.75 billion in export markets, with coffee particularly at risk. Only 15% of East African producers fully understand the new traceability requirements, while smallholder farmers struggle with digital tools and land documentation. Business confidence in agriculture also fell to 105.5 points in Q3 2025 due to a prolonged dry spell and high borrowing costs, affecting crop yields, incomes, and value chain activities.
