Abstract
The Uganda Export Promotion Board (UEPB) has demanded the establishment of an export development fund to support small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) to access cheaper capital to boost export-led production.
The executive director of UEPB, Elly Twineyo Kamugisha, said the ability of SMEs to export has been hampered by the expensive short-term commercial bank loans, which make it hard for them to invest in boosting quantities, improving product quality and packaging for export.
