The ministries of agriculture and their trade counterparts developed the National Tea Policy to guide tea production, processing and to support diversification of products of tea being produced.
Government officials say that the the tea industry has a higher potential to contribute more to the national economy, employment creation, and environmental conservation. State Minister for Agriculture Fred Bwino Kyakulaga said that the policy seeks to promote issues of quality because the market demands are enormous.
Dr. Bethule Nyamambi, the Programme Manager at TrustAfrica also representing Solidaridad East and Central Africa described the validation of the draft National Tea Policy as a milestone in the tea sector. "The policy that has meaningfully consulted all the players in the sector will have meaningful sector changing impact, have ownership, and the sector will able rights and interests of producers and workers and citizens impact and gain results in improving decent working conditions, sustainable natural resource management, achieving fair value for all in the value chains," she explained.
