The Uganda Free Zones Authority has issued 3 developer’s licenses to Wagagai Ltd, Jambo Roses Ltd and Ugarose flower to operate as free zone.
“The flower sector is one of the sectors that has potential to create thousands of jobs to our citizens.
“As government we’re committed to support investors who invest in the flower sector because Uganda has got a favorable environment for Foreign Direct Investments,” said Evelyn Anite, Uganda’s State Minister for Investment.
Anite observed that FDIs are contributing much towards the country’s economic development.
“On annual basis, the FDIs are contributing $916m but majority of them are in manufacturing and services sector yet there are other sectors where they can do better such as the flower sector,” said Anite.
