President Yoweri Museveni has officially launched Uganda's inaugural shipment of dried chili to China, celebrating a new agricultural export initiative. The event in Kamuli District, attended by senior officials and China's Ambassador Zhang Lizhong, signaled a significant step in bilateral trade relations. Museveni characterized the partnership with China as respectful and mutually beneficial, describing chili cultivation as a potential economic gold mine for the Busoga region.

Ambassador Zhang confirmed that bilateral trade between the two nations has grown substantially, reaching 1.3 billion dollars. He attributed this new export channel to a recent trade protocol and noted Uganda's expanding agricultural shipments, which have doubled. The project, a collaboration between the Busoga Consortium for Development and the Kehong China-Uganda Agricultural Cooperation Industrial Park, mobilizes local farmers for chili production. Officials present expressed confidence that the crop would substantially improve household incomes.
