Bangladesh to export textiles, jute products to Uganda

Bangladesh is set to export textiles and jute products to Uganda with the two countries having almost finalised a trade deal.
Officials said the two countries are set to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to share information and technology on trade where Bangladesh will be exporting its textile and jute products to the country, the Daily Monitor newspaper has reported.
Mahmood Hudda, the Honorary Consul of Bangladesh in Uganda, said the export of jute products to Uganda is timely as the country moves from plastic packaging to biodegradable materials.
“The MoU has been presented to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for vetting of documents to formulate the bilateral trade. We are also looking at the Trade Ministry to look into tax exemption on importation of jute to facilitate the trade on duty free basis,” the newspaper quoted Hudda as saying.
On taxing jute products, Uganda's Trade Minister Amelia Kyambadde said it is an issue that will be considered in future since the country has already undergone the budgeting process.
Hudda, who led a delegation from Bangladesh for a meeting with Ms Kyambadde, also revealed that Uganda will also be exporting rice to Bangladesh.
“This is a long-term strategy because we want to encourage our private sector to extend expertise in Jute and textile production in Uganda to promote development,” he added.
Ms Kyambadde said the import of jute products comes at a time when Uganda is phasing out the use of plastic materials for packaging in favour of environment friendly materials.

孟加拉向乌干达出口纺织品和黄麻产品

随着两国几乎敲定了一项贸易协议，孟加拉国将向乌干达出口纺织品和黄麻产品。

官员表示,两国将签署一项谅解备忘录(MoU)来共享贸易信息和技术，孟加拉国将向其出口纺织品和黄麻产品,每日监控报报道。

孟加拉国在乌干达的名誉领事Mahmood Hudda表示,向乌干达出口黄麻产品是及时的，因为该国从塑料包装中走向生物降解材料。

“谅解备忘录已经提交至国内事务部审查文件以规划双边贸易。我们也盯着贸易部来调查免税进口黄麻以促进贸易,”报纸引用Hudda的说法。

对黄麻产品征税,乌干达的贸易部长Amelia Kyambadde说,这个问题未来会被考虑，因为该国已经经历了预算编制过程。
带领孟加拉国代表团与Kyambadde女士会晤的Hudda还透露,乌干达也将把大米出口到孟加拉国。

”这是一个长期战略,因为我们想要鼓励我们的私营部门扩展在乌干达黄麻和纺织生产的专业知识,以促进发展,”他补充道。

Kyambadde女士说，进口黄麻产品正值乌干达逐步淘汰使用塑料包装材料，改用环境友好材料。
