Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Kenya took more than two-thirds of Uganda\u2019s dairy and related exports for the period ended June 2023, according to a report by Dairy Development Authority (DDA).<\/b><\/p>\n

In details contained in the 2022\/23 Annual Report, DDA indicated that Uganda exported dairy and related products worth Shs976.3b, of which Shs810.5b or 83 percent went to Kenya.<\/p>\n

Uganda mainly exported butter, cheese, ghee, UHT, yoghurt and milk powder to one of its biggest trade partners and East Africa\u2019s largest economy.<\/p>\n

Uganda\u2019s dairy and milk exports have previously suffered due to various blockades with Kenya saying it needed to protect its local dairy market.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear whether Kenya had lifted some of the blockades it had placed on milk exports from Uganda.<\/p>\n

Uganda exported dairy products across the globe, with milk powder, which accounted for 54.2 percent or Shs529b of total dairy products, being the most exported product.<\/p>\n

UHT and Casein followed with products worth Shs323b and Shs60.8b, exported respectively, during the period.<\/p>\n

Other major export destinations included the US, which took up casein worth Shs57.6b and Egypt, which imported butter and ghee worth Shs34.9b from Uganda.<\/p>\n

Uganda has been searching for new export markets, with the country\u2019s dairy products gaining access to new markets such as Algeria and Senegal.<\/p>\n

This had come amid increasing blockades from the likes of Kenya and Rwanda, which for long periods banned entry of dairy products from entering their markets.<\/p>\n

DDA noted that Uganda will largely benefit from the Algerian market quota worth $500m and will provide a long-term solution to the country\u2019s increased production output.<\/p>\n

South Sudan and Tanzania, which took export products worth Shs26.4b and Shs13b, respectively closed off Uganda\u2019s top five dairy export destinations.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Uganda imported daily products worth Shs28.6b, of which Shs11.5b or 40.3 percent was from Kenya.<\/p>\n

Uganda mainly imports milk powder, UHT, butter, cheese, infant formula, yoghurt and ice cream.<\/p>\n

Other import sources included France, Poland, Mexico and South Africa from which a combined sum of Shs13.1b worth of dairy products was imported.<\/p>\n

Uganda at least imported several dairy products from 41 countries during the period.<\/p>\n

During the period, the report indicates, the dairy sector saw milk production increase by 37 percent from 2.81 billion litres in the 2020\/21 financial year to 3.85b litres, despite a reported drought in selected areas.<\/p>\n

DDA data indicates that the export value of milk and milk products increased from $102.6m to $264.5m due to an improvement in the quality of cattle which has seen the national average milk productivity increase to 4.96 litres per cow.<\/p>\n

The central region leads in average milk productivity per cow, producing at least 6.6 litres, while the Karamoja sub-region has the lowest at 2.9 litres.<\/p>\n

Western region contributes the highest share of milk production at 32.5 percent, followed by central, which contributes 30.4 percent.<\/p>\n
