Trade
A small bilateral trade base with an obvious direction of growth — and a Centre whose job is to widen it.
Where the trade stands
The numbers, without decoration
According to the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in 2023 Polish exports to Uganda amounted to USD 19.5 million, while imports from Uganda reached USD 17.7 million. That is a small base — which is precisely the argument for a trade representation: almost every product category is open.
| Direction | 2023 value | Typical goods |
|---|---|---|
| Poland → Uganda | USD 19.5 m | Machinery and equipment, processed foods, chemicals, construction and mining supplies |
| Uganda → Poland | USD 17.7 m | Coffee, fish fillets, tobacco and other agricultural commodities |

What the Centre does for exporters
- Buyer and supplier identification in both markets.
- Verification of the counterparty before contract or payment.
- Standards and certification requirements — Ugandan standards for goods entering Uganda, EU requirements for goods entering Poland.
- Customs and tax questions referred to the Revenue Authority desk.
- Trade fair participation, missions and matchmaking programmes.
