The Millers’ Summit 2025: A Game Changer for Uganda’s Grain Industry

The Millers’ Summit 2025 proved a pivotal moment for Uganda’s grain sector, providing a platform for key stakeholders—from small-scale millers to large commercial processors, modern tech suppliers, policy actors, regulators —to come together, share knowledge, and forge a common vision for the future of milling. With discussions around quality control, supply chain improvements, technology advancement, sector-specific financing, and policy alignment, the summit was more than just a meeting—it was a movement. The grain industry in Uganda faces both opportunities and challenges. From climate change, price volatility, high power tariffs, poor quality grain, and post-harvest losses continue to affect productivity. Yet, innovation, collaboration, and investment in better milling practices can help the sector rise above these obstacles. The summit brings to light these issues and provides practical, actionable strategies to address them. What sets the Millers’ Summit apart is its focus on inclusivity. Women and youth in milling, government representatives, and trade partners were among the voices contributing to the conversation. This diversity was critical for building a truly resilient and future-ready grain ecosystem. As Uganda seeks to position itself as a regional grain powerhouse, the Millers’ Summit 2025 could be the catalyst that transforms intention into action. It’s where networks are built, deals are made, and the future of milling is shaped.
