How to Find Wholesale Suppliers in Uganda

Uganda is one of East Africa's most significant agricultural producing nations, with a diverse commodity export base that includes coffee (Uganda is Africa's largest coffee exporter by volume and a major Robusta producer), sunflower oil (one of East Africa's largest sunflower seed producers), sesame seeds, vanilla (among the world's top producers), cocoa, tea, fish products (Nile perch from Lake Victoria is a major export), fresh horticulture (maize, beans, vegetables, fresh flowers), and gold. Kampala — the national capital and largest city — is the country's commercial, financial, and manufacturing hub, while Jinja (on the Nile) is an important industrial centre. Uganda's landlocked position gives it central importance as a supplier and transit corridor for the Great Lakes region (DRC, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan).
