| description |
The relative prosperity enjoyed by
Uganda during the 1960s, based largely on the traditional
exports of coffee, tea, cotton, and tobacco, was eroded by a
devastating civil war over the period 1971 to 1985. The
paper is based upon interviews with selected respondents,
including government authorities, exporting companies,
donors, and practitioner organizations, carried out in 2007
and 2008. The paper is divided into four sections. Section
one provides a brief historical perspective on the emergence
of the Ugandan fruit and vegetable export industry and
examines the role played by different government and donor
initiatives in the initial shaping of the sector, between
the late 1980s and late 1990s. Section two highlights the
strategic commercial approaches adopted by Ugandan exporting
companies and farmers during the 2000s in response to past
performance and in the face of evolving regulatory and
market requirements, especially in the European Union.
Section three examines the rationale for, means of support
of, and apparent efficacy of a range of recent programs
seeking to improve or sustain the competitiveness of
Uganda's fruit and vegetable exports via improved
compliance with regulatory or private standards. Lessons are
drawn from this experience. Section four provides a brief
set of general conclusions. |
