President Museveni made the request while meeting a group of officials from the Presidential Advisory Committee on Exports and Industrial Development (PACEID) led by Odrek Rwabwogo at Nakasero State Lodge.
He revealed that Uganda produces almost any agricultural commodity ranging from fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy products, cereals and grains as well as the essential vegetable oils.
He also revealed that East Africa and the greater African common market is emerging as the region with a big market standing at 1.4 billion people, hoping that In 10 years, from now the African market will be one of the largest in the world with the young people consuming most of the produced products.
President Museveni also thanked the President of Serbia His Excellency, Aleksandar Vucic for sending his Minister of Trade Hon. Tomislav Momirovic to Uganda to deliver a special message, inviting him to the Patriotic Republic of Serbia.
Museveni confirmed the invitation promising to go with a 60 man delegation who own companies and businesses to form partnerships and benchmarking since the Republic of Serbia has already expressed interest in Uganda’s pineapples, coffee, grains, flowers, dairy products and banana products.
