Uganda, April 7 -- What is your affiliation and interest in Agoa?

My interest is in the trade between a developed country and a developing one. That exchange of goods between the United States and Uganda has an overall capacity to generate development because it gives Ugandan exporters and the business community additional access for specific products to the United States.

Instead of traditional products or cash crops like coffee, cotton, or tea, Agoa allowed Uganda to export products such as textiles because the demand for clothes in the States remains inelastic. Giving African countries free access to export goods to America without paying taxes is a golden opportunity, and that's my interest in this.
