Uganda Remains Net Wheat ImporterNAIROBI - May 1/02 - STAT -- Wheat production in Uganda will continue to fall far short of the country's annual needs, maintaining a substantial import market demand for Argentine and Australian wheat, according to a recent report by the U.S. agricultural attache here. Solid opportunities exist for expansion of the local industry. Unfortunately, local infrastructure is inadequate to support substantial expansion. Wheat production in Uganda is thought to total 12,000 MT this year, while consumption by the country's millers is pegged at 120,000 MT. Monetized wheat under PL-480, Title II (HRW) is the only U.S. wheat entering the market presently, the balance being Australian, Argentine, with the occasional parcels of wheat coming from Pakistan and Turkey.
