Annually the global competitiveness is computed by the World Economic Forum of course as Uganda we work as one of the least competitive nations.
See link for details http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_GCR_Report_2011-12.pdf.
The point is to be able to move out of poverty you must produce goods and services that are demanded by others and we must export these goods and services. We will not be able to do so by producing tomatoes and cabbages that end up on our food plate. If we are to produce them they must be top quality at the lowest price. It is only then that we can have a presence in world markets. But we do not have the knowledge nor the skills nor the desire to be competitive hence our poverty.
