Today, it is characterised by long distance trucks, forwarding and clearing firms, and money changers.

(2) A man cuts sugarcane to ready it for processing into sugar. (3) A cotton ginning plant with Ugandans at work at the machines which separate the cotton from the seeds. Cotton was first introduced in Uganda by K. Borup, who in 1903, distributed 62 bags of cotton seeds for planting. The Uganda Cotton Company, with Borup as manager, was founded in 1904. Cotton output was second only to India in the Empire and it maintained this position until recent years.
