Deep dives

The Rise and Fall of Uganda's Textile Industry

The podcast episode explores the history of Uganda's textile industry, starting from the introduction of cotton in 1903 and the country's rise as one of the biggest cotton producers in Sub-Saharan Africa. The industry faced a significant setback in 1972 when Idi Amin expelled Ugandan Asians, who played a crucial role in managing and running textile factories. This expulsion resulted in a lack of experience and knowledge, causing the industry to come to a halt.
