and set odds over the process this won't be an easy task. this is dave up next business africa with ben facility on the back of the talk of the top of the day. where i come from we have to fight for a free press and was born and raised in a military dictatorship with just one t.v. shadow and if your newspapers when official information as a journalist i have work all of the strength of many cantrips and their problems are always the same 14 social inequality a lack of the freedom of the press. who can afford to stay silent when it comes to

the fans and humans on the scene are my 2 fold who have decided to put their trust in us. my name is jenny paris and i work a deal. quality not quantity uganda risks an export. show that makes it. spinning an old tradition in a new revenue stream. high risk crops for production also coming up corporate greed and deceptive marketing and american prosecutor claims. that public health. let's do

business harmful organisms dangerous chemical residues the european union keeps intercepting a high amount of produce from uganda that flout sanitary standards it could lead to a ban ugandan officials blame fake or substandard pesticides at farmers a buying scrambling to block the chemicals from getting into the country in the 1st place rich. and you're going to. is among thousands of suppliers he has enjoyed a good harvest but not this time it's strange based as a screw up. i've done everything to do but there's a test that eats the crops from underground. i can see it and i don't know how to fight it but it's already cost me

a lot if it's spread further on my farm and into other people's farms we won't have anything to export. we would. become desperate. resorting to any pieces of the local market some of which have been banned by the european union. as a result the e.u. rejects their produce. so unless you start export into europe you have to cope right with the european standards so that you have to be sure that the president you use and a particularly residues which really rich rich charming taining on the crop itself or the product itself has to comply with the with the very strict standards. the government sees that ban posts a day legally imported they're often sold in the black market it even gets worse when from us cannot tell them apart from the generally such a fight besides well the reaches no want to toughen the laws to cop this and ensure the dealers only sale to pharmacy approved based sites that meet standards at

a reasonable price they also want to target exporters who deliberately abuse time that's right from the farm in uganda to the markets in europe the regulatory system is weak and we are getting. stuck want us shut out to strengthen their will strengthen in the region be a good regime now after that we are working on f. osment so that it is only when products leave uganda under go to the european market in the wild the market the fight and people know that yes i read it on the sit for human consumption ugandans more than $100000000.00 annually from its fish exports to europe minus income from fish this supports many farmers like i would eat it and the economy fruit such as of a cow doing vegetables also in high demand in the european union just like flour was rich and uganda more than 5000000 dollars

a month. and our correspondent julie is about joins us from the uganda capital kampala julius no other aid in trading has experienced as many products asia's as uganda why is it such a big problem. many attributes of us. when you look at the right now. very many challenges when it comes to protecting some of these safe right from home and many from either the grassroots. competence and in knowledge to get off our success and this has really compromised their children which one to use i'm also on the fruit is ready for export it's been reported that not all on the money can be seen by the take in coffee for custom so this means that many of our exports are coming on to be following in the european union so how is the government going to stop farmers from getting their hands on

counterfeit pesticides as bait. quicken to diminish over a very cause homeless folks to say they're going to reinforce the bond and she exports because they make sure it's called that i phone to help program should be serviced by me supposed to put pressure fuss and reform of the ritz hotel but again they want to extend as much training much training. to the farmers and to the exporters to make sure that they meet. that they can meet this very important european union market because the minister of those to us that they can do anything but not the european union market a lot of the food that gets exported also just stops going off because it's not refrigerated well being transported in trucks across uganda why couldn't something be done they had like upgrades by by produce and refrigerated transportation. i'm going to fix the suspicion we spoke to we

interviewed this gentleman's the jefferson and he told us the sum of a lot of efficiency and crew plus ones do not meet the standards in hundley some trucks are reportedly being phoned with nonfunctional refrigeration. hunting perishable goods and goods that are going to buy to market. so he say that they're going to ensure that no to even a simple exporter can be allowed to take anything out of a few guys. just a quick yes or no do you reckon ugandan exporters are going to get their act together in time i think they'll be like they would do this because the many for has the us i don't. see how. they have to keep the markets so i'm very confident that they will do what advice julia thank you very much for joining us there from kampala elaborate culture dominates kenya's economy that being
