@SpecialDuties_ @EU_Commission @Odrek_Rwabwogo @matthewbagonza @RowlandNkahebwa @MAAIF_Uganda @PS_MAAIF @KagutaMuseveni @AaronBwayo @KashakaUmaru @ugandaexports Excellent news let’s remain vigilant

[Office of the Presidential Advisor- Special Duties @SpecialDuties_]

"We welcome the news of the lifting of the restrictions on Uganda’s pepper exports to the EU. This is a sign that when the public and private sector work together on regulatory oversight and self monitoring and when the private sector observes the SoPs a lot can be achieved. We must however remain vigilant so that we do the same for all FFV exports and not just at point of entry but also at exit points. We thank the NPPO and the private sector for giving us this early Xmas gift and we pledge our commitment to play our role as we rebuild the export so it can boost exports, jobs and incomes"~ @FredZake, Executive Director @hortifreshffv
