The visit comes after Tanzania blocked Ugandan sugar on claims that it is of poor quality. However, the sugar was allowed into the country following a meeting between Presidents Yoweri Museveni and John Joseph Pombe Magufuli

Uganda is the biggest sugar producer in the EAC with production currently being 550,000tons, consumption at 360,000 tons and 150,000 tons available for export; with Kenya being Uganda’s biggest consumer.

The purpose of this visit was to effect resolutions of the Presidents, which were to ascertain originality and capacity of sugar production in Uganda and improve the business/trade relations between the two countries.
