The Petroleum Authority of Uganda (PAU) has identified a significant business opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly farmers, in supplying produce to the Tilenga and Kingfisher oil project camps. The projects, expected to create over 160,000 jobs, are in the preparation phase and are projected to last between 25 and 30 years. The demand for agricultural produce like beans, cassava, maize flour, and rice is expected to be high, with thousands of tonnes required monthly. However, Uganda's agricultural sector will need to increase production by significant margins to meet this demand. The PAU urges farmers to register on the National Supplier Database and form associations or cooperatives to consistent:ly meet the demand. However, challenges such as high business costs, lack of specialised personnel, and competition from more experienced players may hinder Ugandan SMEs from competing in the oil industry.

The report states that beans, cassava, maize flour and rice were among the items most demanded to feed about 8,000 workers expected to reside in the camps. For example, Tilenga project where ...
