                          By Morrison Rwakakamba

                          I am in Istanbul for the Turkey – Africa Economic and Business Forum. I was invited by the African Union and the Turkish Ministry of Trade to share thoughts on the agriculture and agro-processing potential in Africa broadly and Uganda specifically.

                          The history of Turkey – Africa relations dates the back to mid-1500s when the Ottoman Empire, headquartered in Istanbul, the capital of Turkey opened trade routes in Africa, starting with Egypt in 1517. The Ottoman empire further extended diplomatic relations and mutual partnership with Kanem Borno Empire in West and Central Africa in the 19th Century.

                          At a 2020 forum, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said “The total trade volume between Turkey and African countries has risen by 381 percent in the last 27 years and reached $26 billion. We will further boost our cooperation with the continent in the period ahead. We will work together shoulder to shoulder to increase our trade volume up to $50 billion.”

                          Indeed, for Turkish investors looking to establish investments in Uganda, it is clear they have the opportunity to benefit from now expansive African market enabled by the African Continental Free Trade Area (Africa has 1.3 billion people and is projected to have 2.5 billion people by 2050), access to quota-free and duty-free market in Europe under the Everything else But Arms (EBA) arrangement and over 600 products listed under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) arrangement. Turkey shares a similar time zone with Uganda and is less than six hours away from Entebbe, Uganda. There is a direct flight between Turkey and Uganda.

                          Beyond the infrastructure capacity and clear incentives in the Investment code act of 2019, I shared with Turkish prospective investors specific opportunities into the selected strategic agricultural value chains. Uganda investment Authority continues to invest in research, data, and business intelligence tools that generate a clear return on investment numbers to help investors make quick decisions to invest their money in Uganda.

                          The agricultural sector is broad, but the hereunder top eleven agricultural value chains have the most capacity for optimal and productive returns. Uganda Investment Authority researchers based the foregoing on four parameters i.e. size and depth of the value chain, growth potential, sustained regional and international competitiveness, and capacity to make productivity gains. I, therefore, enumerated to the Turkish investors the hereunder investment opportunities in agriculture and agro-processing;

                          a) Coffee: There is an opportunity to export Fairly Average Quality (FAQ). Considering the potential yield of 3.4 MT per hectare on the current area under coffee plantation at an average price of USD 1,370 per metric ton, there is a potential processing opportunity of 1.36 Million metric tons valued at USD $1.87 Billion per year.

                          b) Cocoa: There is an opportunity for large-scale commercial farming and processing of cocoa with aim of exporting to international markets of Indonesia, Malaysia, and India. Considering the available area under cocoa cultivation, production at a potential yield of 17.3 metric tons per hectare, and a price of USD $2,175 per metric ton of dried cocoa beans, there is a potential dried cocoa processing opportunity of 1.2 Million tons valued at USD $2.64 Billion per year.

                          c) Fish: With the available surface area of 649.95 km2 on Lake Albert and Victoria suitable for aquaculture, there is a cage farming opportunity.
