Egyptian SME Investors Union Discusses Resource Processing With Ugandan Businesswomen

Alaa El-Sakty, chairman of the Union of Small and Medium Enterprise Investors, received a delegation of businesswomen and investors from Uganda and Zambia for talks on processing natural resources rather than exporting them raw.

The meeting focused on manufacturing as an alternative to the sale of unprocessed resources, placing local value addition at the centre of the discussions.

The visiting delegation brought together business representatives from both African countries, with Ugandan businesswomen taking part in the talks on resource processing.

The available summary did not identify specific resources or manufacturing projects under consideration, or report any agreements resulting from the meeting.
