Draft a problem statement showing the problem, the cause of the problems in the export sector of Uganda in one detailed paragraph with the latest references

The export sector in Uganda is currently facing significant challenges that are hindering its growth and development. The primary cause of these problems is the lack of diversification in the export commodities, with the country heavily relying on traditional exports such as coffee, tea, and tobacco. This over-reliance on a few commodities makes the sector vulnerable to fluctuations in international market prices and demand. Additionally, the sector is plagued by inadequate infrastructure, particularly in transport and storage, which increases the cost of doing business and reduces competitiveness. Furthermore, the sector is constrained by limited access to affordable credit, which hampers the capacity of exporters to invest in value addition and expansion. Lastly, the sector is also affected by stringent international standards and non-tariff barriers, which limit market access for Ugandan exports. These challenges are compounded by the lack of a comprehensive national export strategy to guide the development of the sector (TradeMark East Africa, 2020; Uganda Export Promotion Board, 2021).
