Uganda plans to establish a trading post in Russia to sell its coffee and increase its supply to the Russian market. This was reported by RIA Novosti Mbasu Wilson Mbadi, Uganda Minister of State for Trade, Industry and Cooperatives.
Answering a question about the possibility of opening a trading center in Russia for the sale of Ugandan agricultural products, Mbadi emphasized the importance of finding new markets for Ugandan coffee.
