EXPORT INCENTIVES: Free zones courts businesses
Manufacturers are being challenged to make use of export-designed warehouses in Entebbe, constructed by the free zones authority, with only 30 free zones operators to date registered by the authority. The licence is part of the nm. Even though the free zones authority has export-designed warehouses in Entebbe, the scenario is such that the private sector at this point has alternatives and the authority to persuade them to take up the facilities at Entebbe. It’s not clear what advantage the free zones authority will dangle to attract usage of its facilities which are nearly half complete.
