COMMENT | As of 14th July 2022, fuel pump prices were racing towards a record sh7,000 per litre in Kampala as the fear of disruption to the supply of fuel increased across the country.

With commercial agriculture at the core of PDM, experts have a lot more to worry about. PDM success is tagged on four sectors, led by commercializing agriculture.

All the above-mentioned critical enablers of commercial agriculture require mobility which supported by fuel.
