Executive Summary

Introduction 1. Madam Speaker, in line with theme of the State of the Nation Address and the policy pronouncements in the Budget Speech FY 2014/15, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives in consultation with various key stakeholders has prepared this Ministerial Policy Statement for the consideration and approval of Budget Estimates by Parliament.

2. In this Statement, emphasis has been placed on key interventions such as the promotion of industrialization including value addition to agricultural produce, and support to the development of MSMEs, growth of the services sectors, and the enhancement of market access for Uganda’s products and services regionally and internationally.

Overview of the Sector Budget 3. Last Financial Year 2013/14, the total budget for Trade, Industry and Cooperatives Sector was UShs. 49.690 billion (Inclusive of Taxes, NTR and Arrears), out of which only UShs. 35.138 billion was received and utilized.

4. In this Fiscal Year 2014/15, the Sector has been allocated additional resources as follows: UShs. 900 million towards Ministry Headquarters operations, UShs. 818 million for wage enhancement and establishment of the MSMEs Directorate in the Ministry, UShs. 910 million to boost UNBS operations, UShs. 500 million for Warehouse Receipt System regulation and management and UShs. 341 million for the AGOA Secretariat.

While this Ministry is appreciative of the additional resources, there are still critical interventions which have remained unfunded as illustrated within the document.

5. Out of the total budget provision, approximately 34% (UShs. 14.39 billion) is to cater for salaries and wages, 25% (UShs. 10.73 billion) is for Capital Development, 18% (UShs. 7.5 billion) is for administrative and operational overhead costs, 13% (UShs. 5.7 billion) for Human Capital Development, 6% (UShs. 2.66 billion) is for Regulatory Best Practices1, and 2% (UShs. 0.87 billion) is provided for Promotions and Market Access among other expenditure categories within the Sector.

1 Government has adopted international best practices in policy and law making to minimize the procedural and regulatory bottlenecks associated to doing business in Uganda in order to attract more investment, create wealth and ensure faster growth of the economy.

Executive Summary

6. Additional budgetary resources are urgently required for Sector Infrastructure development (or, Fixed Capital Formation) as detailed in this document. Once resources are provided, they will target the establishment of Common Industrial facilities for Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), Business Incubation Centers, Warehouse facilities for food storage and value addition, Border Markets and Quality Assurance infrastructure among others. In the above context, this socio- economic infrastructure will guarantee food security for the country, Sustainable growth in Value Addition, Services Sector, Youth Employment and raising Household Incomes for the Rural Communities.

Overview of the Sector Performance 7. Madam Speaker, Uganda’s export receipts reduced by 12.2 percent from US$ 2.8 billion in 2012 to US$ 2.5 billion in 2013. The import bill reduced by 4.6 percent from US$ 6.1 billion in 2012 to US$ 5.8 billion in 2013. The trade deficit therefore increased by 1.8 percent from US$ 3.3 billion in 2012 to US$ 3.4 billion in 2013.

8. The index of production for Manufacturing stood at 199.5 in the year 2013, up by 3.2 percent from the year 2012. The industry group ‘Food Processing’ registered the highest positive growth of 10.5 percent, followed by ‘Saw Milling’ (8.4 percent) and ‘Other industry groups combined’ recorded a positive rise of 5.7 percent.

Policy and Legal Framework 9. For regulatory frameworks to facilitate Trade and Industrial Development, Government is fast tracking the development of: the Competition and Consumer Protection Policy and Bill, the Grains and Cereals Policy, the Buy Uganda Build Uganda Policy, the Accreditation Policy, the Leather Policy, the New Sugar Bill, the Industrial Metrology Bill, the Cooperatives Act Amendment, the Anti-Counterfeit Goods Bill, the Domestication of WTO Implementation Bill, the Domestication of COMESA Treaty Bill, the Accreditation Bill and the Uganda Development Corporation (UDC) Bill. These instruments will support investment in the Private Sector, develop the local content, protect consumers from unfair trade practices, and institute the industrial and economic investment arm of Government.

Value Addition and Local Economic Development 10. In a bid to strengthen the Warehouse Receipt System (WRS), Government plans to refurbish two more warehouses; the Pakanyi United Cooperative Society warehouse in Kiryandongo and the Kakumiro Cooperative Union warehouse. This will add 10,000MT to the existing 552,000 MT in order to address the poor post-harvest handling and promote value addition.

The construction of the processing facility will start in July 2014, using a Grant-Aid by the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).

12. Through a PPP arrangement with Kalangala Infrastructure Services Co. Ltd, several infrastructure components have been developed on Bugala island, Kalangala district. The pilot water supply projects were completed and commissioned, and the MV Pearl is operational. The ferry operates a minimum of 10 trips daily from Monday to Friday, 8 trips on Saturdays and 6 trips on Sundays commencing at 7:00am from Bukakata. The rehabilitation, expansion and upgrade of the 66km Main Island Road to a class B gravel road begun in May 2013. The development of a power generation plant, and construction of a distribution network throughout the Bugala island is underway. The second ferry, named the MV Ssese, is under construction using high tensile steel plates.

13. Through the Uganda Industrial Research Institute (UIRI), a range of competitive Ugandan products have been developed from the abundant raw materials. These raw materials include bananas, millet, maize, sorghum, fruits (mangoes, passion fruits, papaya, water melon, oranges), eggs, meat, chicken, fish, ginger, vegetables (french beans, carrots, lettuce), mushrooms, tubers (sweet potato, cassava), cran berry, grapes, pumpkin, beans, hibiscus, moringa, stinging nettle and beet root, peanuts, irish potatoes, soya, honey, tomatoes and bamboo shoots. The Arua fruit processing facility was also commissioned. In Fiscal Year 2014/15, the Institute will continue to build capacity in specific targeted skills needed for industrial development and value addition and also undertake to establish a Regional hub for scientific innovations in support of industrialization.

14. In this Financial Year, through the One Village One Product (OVOP) programme, with a budget of UShs. 245 million, the Ministry has assisted 26 enterprises from 21 districts with value addition equipment as well as skills development in 11 product ranges, including shear nut, rice, maize, pineapple, coffee, groundnuts, cassava, sweet potatoes, poultry, apiary and handicrafts. Next Financial Year, Government shall extend this support to twelve more cooperative enterprises from 12 other districts across the country. However, these funds are far too low to cause the desired and expected impact to the concerned communities.

Executive Summary

15. In order to promote Local Economic Development, the Ministry with support from the Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF) through the District Commercial Services Support project (DICOSS) has provided motorcycles, computer equipment, and set up trade information centres in addition to human resource capacity building to improve delivery of commercial services in 25 selected districts across the country. There is need for Government to increase support for the District Commercial Offices throughout all the Local Governments.

16. The Ministry developed the Cooperative Data Analysis System (CODAS) to capture details of cooperatives registered across the country for increased supervision and regulation. This system has so far captured a total of 14,507 registered cooperative societies, and will facilitate the selection of cooperative societies that Government can offer support across the country.

17.

Executive Summary

Elimination of Non-Tariff Barriers 19. With support from TradeMark East Africa Ltd, Government has continued to eliminate Non-Tariff Barriers to facilitate the smooth flow of trade. Cash bonds on Uganda-destined, goods mainly on high value products like cars, electrical product and sugar by the Republic of Kenya, were removed. Uganda and Kenya harmonized Axle Load control measures on weighbridges by implementing a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of up to 52 tonnes depending on vehicle configuration. Kenya now weighs transit trucks twice while Uganda weighs them twice as well at its border points.

20. The Kenyan Government removed requirements for physical inspection, transit permits, payment of transit fees, and possession of import permits from countries of destination by Ugandan exporters of Hides and Skins. This was previously affecting about 8 Ugandan companies exporting Hides and Skins to Europe through the Kenya Port. The 16% VAT on services (Port Charges) for all goods cleared for transit into Uganda has been removed since there was no mechanism for claiming the VAT by Ugandan-registered clearing firms.

21. Uganda and Rwanda signed a bilateral Agreement on the Removal of NTBs and constituted a committee as part of the National Monitoring Committee of NTBs for monitoring the removal of NTBs between Rwanda and Uganda. Terms of Reference, a Work Plan and Rules of Procedure for the Joint Committee were developed. The Committee identifies and reports NTBs on the routes from Kampala to Kigali and holds bi-annual meetings in which identified NTBs are resolved.

22. An Electronic Cargo Tracking System was delivered and installed. The system is aimed at eliminating delays and costs of escorting transit cargo to the borders and avoiding short landing of cargo, and is currently being piloted by the Uganda Revenue Authority.

Standards and Quality Assurance 23. Government has increased operational support to the Uganda National Bureau of Standards to heighten market surveillance of the domestic market and curb trade in unsafe and substandard goods. In collaboration with the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) and TradeMark East Africa, Government has strengthened the capacity of the Bureau’s laboratories with testing and calibration equipment worth US $ 1 million. Three laboratories are currently being supported to attain internationally recognized accreditation. The Bureau has also been supported with its first ever film van to raise awareness on standards and quality

issues. With this assistance, 30 MSMEs were facilitated to have their products certified for the domestic and export market.

24. In addition, Government rolled out the Pre-shipment Verification of Conformity (PVoC) programme on 1st June 2013, in order to minimize the risk of unsafe and substandard goods entering Ugandan and protect consumers against dangerous, shoddy and substandard imported products. This programme currently covers 7 product categories, including food and food products, electrical and electronics including solar equipment, automotive products and inputs, chemical products including cosmetics, mechanical materials and gas appliances, toys and mosquito nets, and will be expanded to cover 3 more categories starting 1st July 2014.

Regional Integration and International Trade Partnerships 25. With the deepened East African Community integration, the full roll out of the Electronic Single Window that was launched in Nairobi 2nd May 2014 will make business more efficient, hence lowering the cost of doing business within the region. The use of the Electronic Single Window System is geared at centralizing trade services such as tracking of goods, custom clearance, and electronic payment, including through mobile money. The system will also integrate with the Uganda Revenue Authority and is expected to make clearance at Kenyan ports faster and easier.

26. Uganda handed over the Chairmanship of the EAC and COMESA in November 2013 and February 2014 respectively. During its Chairmanship, Uganda hosted a High Level Conference on mobilization of resources for infrastructure development, mobilized funding through the PTA Bank for projects worth US$6.6 billion, and developed a COMESA Regional MSMEs Strategy which led to the creation of a US $5 million SME Seed fund to be piloted in 5 member states.

27. Uganda is also committed to join the COMESA FTA with effect from 1st July 2014. As a result, Government has secured funding worth 3.2 million Euros for three years from the COMESA Adjustment Facility to implement Regional Integration programmes. This funding will facilitate among others, the establishment of two border markets, two trade information offices at Mutukula and Lwakhakha, and implementation of regional commitments on; Standards, Competition Policy, the Common Investment agreement and transport facilitation tools such as the regional third party insurance scheme commonly known as the Yellow Card.

Executive Summary

28. Government is engaged in negotiations for the EAC-COMESA-SADC Tripartite Free Trade Area to remove some of the inconsistencies and costs in regional integration brought about by overlapping memberships2. The Tripartite FTA accounts for half (27) of the Membership of the African Union with a Gross Domestic Product of US $1.3 trillion, a population of 565 million and a combined landmass of 17 million square kilometers. When the negotiations are completed, the Tripartite strategy will involve designing and implementing the Tripartite FTA, the preparation of a Trade and Transport Facilitation Programme elaboration of a regional industrial development programme, the design and implementation of trade and transport infrastructure projects along corridors and free movement of business persons across the RECs.
