Convening the Congress in Uganda is a strategic initiative that has the potential to catalyse the growth of the region’s silk industry.
TRIDI has no single query or even error in its plan and implementation in developing Sericulture Sector in Uganda,” Aine says.

TRIDI’s target is the best silk grade 6A to earn USD120 per kg. “We should not have a problem to get the best. After all, we produce the best mulberry and best cocoons.”
The government gave TRIDI money to procure land for the project whose payment was cleared between January and March 2022 and has never been registered in the name of Clet Masiga.
In Sheema, TRIDI executive director said they are missing the power line. The transformer which we have there is 30KV; we need a 100KV transformer to be able to operate that factory. So, even the installations will have to hold until we get the 100KV transformer.
Even when Parliament appropriated Uganda shillings 43 billion to ensure the commercial production of silk, the money is yet to be released, TRIDI executive director, said.
Uganda will produce approximately 67kgs of raw silk per day, equivalent to 16MT annually (assuming 250 working days per year)
