Uganda Manufacturers to Showcase Innovations and Deals at Trade Fair

The Uganda Manufacturers Association (UMA) is gearing up for its 32nd international trade fair, an event designed to bring together manufacturers, buyers, and stakeholders to foster business growth and promote local industry.

This year’s fair will place a significant emphasis on showcasing the ingenuity and production capabilities of Ugandan businesses. Attendees can expect to see a wide array of locally developed products and innovations, demonstrating the sector’s progress and potential.

In addition to the display of local talent, the trade fair will also feature attractive discounts and special offers from participating companies. This initiative aims to stimulate consumer demand and provide tangible benefits to attendees, encouraging sales and market penetration for Ugandan goods.

The event also serves as a platform to discuss and address the persistent challenges hindering industrial growth in Uganda. According to UMA’s executive director, Dr. Daniel Muhumuza, issues such as high transport and logistics costs remain significant hurdles for industrialists. The fair will provide an opportunity for dialogue between manufacturers, government officials, and other stakeholders to explore potential solutions.

By highlighting local products and facilitating direct engagement between producers and consumers, the UMA trade fair seeks to strengthen the manufacturing sector, boost the ‘Buy Uganda Build Uganda’ campaign, and ultimately contribute to the nation’s economic development. The association is encouraging widespread participation from both businesses and the public to make the event a success.
