Flower exporters want more land and subsidised electricity in order to expand their operations in Uganda. Government’s delay to provide a good incentive regime, has stagnated the flower industry.
Ms Esther Nekambi, Uganda Flower Exporters Association’s (Ufea) programme coordinator, in an interview with Prosper Magazine said: “Our target by 2021 is to have at least 400 hectares up from the current 250 hectares. If land is made available it is expected to attract foreign direct investment worth $300 million (Shs1.1 trillion).”
