Driving Growth and Connectivity: MGS Launches Transport, Logistics, and Exchange Venture

Manilom Global Solutions (MGS) has unveiled a transformative venture in transport, logistics, and commodity exchange, designed to enhance connectivity, facilitate trade, and stimulate economic empowerment across Uganda and the region.

In line with its commitment to building sustainable and inclusive solutions, MGS is expanding its investment portfolio by entering the transport and logistics sector through a strategically structured venture that integrates transportation services with a robust trade exchange platform.

Bridging Markets through Transport and Logistics

At the heart of the venture is an efficient transport and logistics system aimed at solving long-standing challenges in cargo movement, last-mile delivery, and market access for farmers, traders, and small businesses. By leveraging smart technologies and a well-coordinated vehicle network, MGS is streamlining the transportation of goods between rural production areas and urban markets.

This initiative is already supporting agricultural value chains by reducing post-harvest losses, ensuring timely delivery of goods, and improving the overall efficiency of supply chains in Uganda.

The Exchange Platform: Trading Made Easy

In addition to logistics, MGS is introducing a commodity exchange platform—a digital and physical space where producers, traders, and consumers meet to trade goods transparently and efficiently. The platform supports the exchange of agricultural produce, manufactured goods, and raw materials, ensuring fair pricing, traceability, and access to new markets.

This model empowers smallholder farmers and entrepreneurs by offering them an organized platform to sell their products at competitive rates, access real-time market data, and benefit from collective bargaining.

Socio-Economic Impact

The venture aligns with Uganda’s Vision 2040 and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) goals by promoting regional integration, reducing trade bottlenecks, and creating employment opportunities—particularly for youth and women in the logistics and trade sectors.

MGS also aims to collaborate with local cooperatives, SMEs, and public agencies to ensure inclusive growth and mutual benefit from the venture’s expanding network.

Looking Ahead

Manilom Global Solutions envisions this venture as a driver of structural transformation in Uganda’s trade ecosystem. With a commitment to excellence, innovation, and impact, MGS continues to build ventures that not only generate business value but also contribute meaningfully to community development and national growth.
