{{Uganda\u2019s Exports have hit a US$2.3Billion mark up from US$2.1Billion in 2011, the country\u2019s Export Promotion Board said Tuesday. }} <\/p>\n
The statistics were presented in parliament before the House committee on tourism, trade and industry.<\/p>\n
The Export Promotion Board said non-traditional exports of mainly maize, rice, sugar and mineral water earned the country $1.9billion in 2012 from $1.4b in 2011.<\/p>\n
The growth in exports is attributed to a reduction in informal cross-border trading responsible for a large percentage of cereal trading between Uganda and her direct neighbours. <\/p>\n
Top Uganda export markets, include France for cotton and oil seeds, Sudan, Congo, Kenya, United Arab Emirates, Tanzania, Rwanda and Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) partner states.<\/p>\n
The Exports Board said tough economic conditions in Europe took a negative toll on Uganda exports, with exports to Netherlands, Germany, UK, Belgium, Italy and Spain all registering a decline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
