On Thursday November 20, 2025, Uganda marked a major milestone in its agricultural export ambitions as President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni flagged off the country’s first consignment of dried chili destined for the Chinese market.

The ceremony, held at Bunambo Village in Namasagali Sub-county, Kamuli District, drew top government officials, diplomats, investors, and local farmers who celebrated what they termed as historic breakthrough for Busoga and the nation’s agro-export sector.
