Uganda is one of the fastest growing economies in Africa with GDP growth averaging 6% since the early 1990s. In less than 5 years, foreign direct investments have doubled to US$307 million in 2006.

The main drivers of this growth are small and medium companies in organic cotton, fish farming, forestry, biofuel, ICT, and floriculture.
With its predictable economic and political environment and a fully liberalized economy, Uganda provides strong basic strengths for foreign companies. Its strong resource base in terms of climate, water, fertile land, and low cost, trainable, educated and English speaking workforce, guarantees low costs but high quality inputs for agro- and horticulture related industries. Uganda?s unique geographical profile includes both low-altitude and high-altitude production areas, which allows growing a wide range of different crops under optimum growing circumstances producing higher yields than other countries in the region.
A team of businessmen and the Uganda Investment Authority (UIA) will be in The Netherlands at the Golden Tulip Bel Air, The Hague on Thursday 6 March. Some of these delegates will also be present at the seminar NABC is organizing on the 7th of march.
