Uganda is Open for Your Business
2026-04-20 - 2026-04-23
The Danish Embassy in Uganda, Access2innovation and the Danish Agriculture & Food Council are pleased to invite your company to participate in this 2026 agro-business delegation to Uganda.
Why Uganda?
Uganda is one of Africa’s most stable and open countries with ambitious growth targets and an agri-business sector full of opportunities. This delegation visit will enable Danish companies to meet key partners and potential customers, display their products and services, and gain first-hand knowledge about the Ugandan agribusiness industry and market.

Key aspects of Ugandan agribusiness:

The agricultural sector in Uganda accounts for a significant part of the country’s GDP and export earnings. With the agricultural sector employing approximately 70% of population, the sector plays a crucial part for the country’s economy.
Uganda is very close to its target of lower-middle-income status – partly through serious reform of the agricultural sector from subsistence farming to commercial farming. The sector is now more competitive and profitable.
Urbanisation is high, the middle class is growing and demand for agricultural production increasing.
All of the above offer great opportunities for Danish companies. The demand for improved quality production and processing equipment, cold-chain facilities, packaging and storing facilities is high, and the need for quality control remains a challenge for Ugandan agricultural exports.

What is unique about this mission?
The delegates will have an opportunity to meet and explore synergies with implementing partners of the Danish development programmes in Uganda.
Who should join?
The delegation is open to participation from companies working within the agribusiness industry, e.g.:

Food solutions and food processing technology
Agricultural materials
Agro-services, machinery, equipment
Biomass energy & solar
Small-scale irrigation
Quality control and food safety

Price
The total price for participation in the business delegation to Uganda is 8,750 DKK excl. flight, hotel and VAT per company for 1 representative and 3 guests at the reception. Extra representative 2,000 DKK per person.

NOTE: The Danish company is free to have its local representatives represent your company in full during the event. On the registration form you can, if relevant, therefore add the contact information of the local participating person/company. However, only Danish companies in Denmark with a Danish CVR number can register for participation, and the invoicing will always be issued in DKK to the Danish company address.
We reserve the right to offer you participation at a different price if any of the above criteria change. Should this result in a higher price than quoted, you have the right to cancel your participation. Other expenses not mentioned above are at your own expense, including visa, flights, dining & drink, and hotel.
NOTE: The price is based on 7 participating companies, who are all eligible for subsidy, and 75 percent subsidy (already granted) from the Trade Council of Denmark.
If your company is not eligible for subsidy due to de-minimis issues (having received more than 300,000 Euro in de-minimis subsidy within the past 3 years, including the present), you are obliged to pay the full price without the subsidy. The same conditions apply, if you do not wish to receive subsidy.
Hotel and travel information
Flights and hotel are not included in the price. Upon registration, you will receive a travel suggestion.
