With related literature discuss the export sector of Uganda in one detailed paragraph with references of 2024 & 2023

Uganda's export sector has shown notable developments in recent years, driven by diversification and increased productivity in key industries such as agriculture and manufacturing. The country has focused on enhancing the quality of its agricultural exports, including coffee, tea, and horticultural products, which remain pivotal to its economy (Uganda Bureau of Statistics, 2024). According to the World Bank (2023), Uganda's commitment to participating in regional trade agreements has further amplified its export potential, allowing for better access to markets in neighboring countries. Additionally, innovations in processing technologies and adherence to international quality standards have enabled Ugandan goods to compete more effectively on global markets (Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives, 2023). Despite these advancements, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure and fluctuating prices of commodities persist, highlighting the need for ongoing investment in both transportation and capacity building to bolster the sector's resilience and growth (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, 2024).
