President @kagutamuseveni yesterday August 17, 2023 met a delegation from Stabex International led by their Executive Director, Mr. Jack Chebet at State House-Entebbe. Stabex International is one of the dynamic and progressive entities redefining the landscape of fuel and gas industry in Uganda and the larger Africa with an unwavering commitment to innovation and marketing sustainability. Apart from the oil and gas sector, President Museveni and Stabex International officials discussed other possible areas of investment in the country. President Museveni rallied the company to invest in the manufacturing/ processing sector so that they are able to add value to Uganda's raw materials. “The Wananchi are the out-growers but if you want to be involved in the dairy processing, then we can try to get you some land to set up a core demonstration farm. Start with the processing, then you work backwards because Ugandans do a lot of farming themselves. That is a better way to factor in out-growers,” President Museveni told the officials who expressed interest in investing in Uganda's agricultural sector.
