Rwanda intends to increase its exports base by 17 per cent per year, according to Trade and Industry Minister, Vincent Munyeshyaka, during the 3rd National Exporters’ Conference in Kigali.
The conference included various stakeholders in trade, including government institutions, private sector and other business partners.
“This is indeed a very interactive platform for discussion from which key constraints that slow down export growth and new opportunities to increase exports are discussed.
Recommendations are formulated to come up with mitigating strategies to ensure that constraints to export promotion are not only alleviated, but also to make sure that the business community is taking advantage of opportunities that are existing in our economy,” Munyeshyaka said.
