During the meeting, Chairman Zhu Chen delivered a detailed briefing to Counselor Wang Jianxun on the Group’s preliminary market research results and overall investment plan for Uganda, with special focus on the design framework and implementation schedule of the coffee deep-processing project. He stated that Uganda boasts exceptional coffee resource endowments. Drawing on the Group’s mature experience in agricultural processing and global supply chain operation, Mainland plans to invest and construct a modern coffee processing plant locally to complete the full local agricultural deep-processing industrial chain. By relying on the Group’s cross-border global trade network, the Group will expand export channels for Uganda’s featured agricultural products and achieve win-win results. 

Commercial Counsellor Wang Jianxun carefully listened to the Group’s industrial investment plan and project advancement proposals. He fully recognized Mainland Group’s pragmatic efforts including conducting field surveys in Uganda, deploying localized agricultural deep-processing projects, and actively participating in China-Uganda economic and trade cooperation. He stated that the Economic and Commercial Office of the Embassy will continue to act as a bilateral economic and trade bridge, providing full-range supporting services such as policy consultation and business matchmaking for Chinese enterprises investing in Uganda, helping enterprises orderly carry out pre-project preparation, and deepen China-Uganda agricultural trade and exchanges under the Belt and Road Initiative.
