Agribusiness trade mission to Harvest Money Expo in Uganda

Opportunities for Dutch companies

The Netherlands has a good reputation in the agricultural sector. As a result, this mission also offers opportunities for Dutch companies.

A study of the agricultural sector in Uganda was commissioned by the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality in 2022: Agribusiness Market Scan (pdf). This mapped out, among other things, the opportunities for Dutch companies. Several roadmaps have been developed for further deepening, namely for aquaculture, potatoes and poultry.

The market scan and roadmaps form the basis of this mission. We will focus on the 2 central themes of this mission: 'Climate-smart solutions' and 'Digital solutions'. Prior to the mission, the Ugandan consulting firm Asigma will further explain the opportunities and developments in Uganda based on these themes. Company visits and relevant stakeholders will be tailored accordingly.
