Uganda launched a roadmap to boost agricultural trade by tackling cross-border inefficiencies. The Private Sector Foundation Uganda and AGRA led a multi-stakeholder dialogue to identify key issues. A study at major border posts found that non-tariff barriers, delays, and poor infrastructure cost the economy over $95 million yearly. Stakeholders committed to reforming trade policies, financing, and cooperatives to improve regional market access, cut losses, and strengthen Uganda’s role in agricultural trade.
