Stakeholders rally behind growth of Ug

________________ Avocado discussions in Kampala have highlighted both the promise and the structural challenges facing one of Uganda's fastest-growing agricultural value chains, with stakeholders agreeing that the sector is at a critical stage of expansion. The dialogue on Thursday, June 18, brought together officials from the trade and agriculture ministries, farmer representatives, processors, exporters, agribusiness investors and the State House Investors Protection Unit (SHIPU). While Uganda's avocado industry has grown rapidly in recent years, driven by rising global demand for Hass avocados and avocado oil, stakeholders noted that the sector still faces bottlenecks that must be addressed to sustain its growth trajectory.
