Kyambadde who officiated the event, which was organised by EABQA in partnership with Chartered Quality Institute and Alconext, applauded organisers for creating and sustaining the spirit of competition to ensure that consumers receive quality service and production.

She noted that the next step for local producers is to start participation in regional markets such as the East African Common Market [COMESA] and African Free Trade Area[AFTA] which have been prepared for producers on the continent. Through such initiatives as collective markets, she said that all EA countries are aligning standards to relieve traders and producers from protocols of getting similar approval in each country.
