This was revealed by the Minister of Trade and Industry, Soraya Hakuziyaremye who was speaking Thursday, in a workshop with private entities in an event to officially launch Made In Rwanda Policy and Made in Rwanda Logo where she also revealed that the increase in domestic production reduced the country’s imports by 4%.
The launch will be followed by the fourth Made in Rwanda Expo from November 28, to December 11, 2018.
Soraya said that a research conducted in 2015 indicated that an increase in domestic production will be based on promoting domestic markets.
Industrial Development Policy Specialist at MINICOM, Telesphore Mugwiza said that developing Made in Rwanda will require that people change their attitudes.
He said Rwanda exports increased from $559 million to 944 million in 2017.
