Boosting local medicine production in Uganda: How import fees are affecting the industry

By Danélia Botes

March 30, 2023

The study examines the impact of import verification fees on local pharmaceutical production in Uganda. The findings suggest that the policy has been effective in promoting local production, with an 8.2% increase in production capacity observed. The study also highlights the challenges faced by the local industry, including limited access to raw materials, high operating costs, and inadequate quality control equipment. The authors recommend that the government provide necessary support to the local industry, including policies to protect local manufacturers from high taxation and promote local production of raw materials.
