Relevant Economic sectors in Uganda

In fact, on the world export market scene, Uganda achieves a primary role in the export of coffee. Furthermore, the widespread presence of the cotton plant, with the desirable aid (political, economic and business management and organization) could, in the very short term, lead to the expansion of the textile manufacturing sector.
There has also been a strong increase in the services sector recently driven by rapid growth in telecommunications, financial services, commerce and tourism.
This growth has represented a strong attraction for investors, especially foreigners, and has found valid support thanks to the extensive privatization program promoted by the current government. Uganda was one of the first African countries in which the phenomenon of liberalization spread, which particularly affected the telecommunications sector, where several private companies currently operate.

In particular, corporate and commercial rights are based on the Common Law system of English origin and custom, which, however, applies only if it is not in contrast with the law of the State. Furthermore, in the field of commercial law, the importance of "Uganda Commercial Law Reports" is noted, which consists of an annual collection of the most relevant rulings of the Commercial Section of the Supreme Court of Uganda, the first edition of which was published in 1996. Commercial relations with foreign subjects are established mainly on the archetypes of the agency and distribution contract.
