With a population of approximately 45 million, Uganda's economy is significantly driven by agriculture. The nation cultivates coffee, tea, tobacco, cotton, vegetables, and fruits, while also engaging in fishing activities. Agriculture employs around 82% of the population. The industrial sector is predominantly made up of small and medium enterprises focused on the processing of raw materials, textile production, and the manufacture of construction materials.
