@FirelightUg This cooperation could provide opportunities for increased exports of Ugandan products, including fresh fruits and vegetables, coffee, grains, cereals, spices and other value-added agricultural and food products, while providing farmers with more predictable and sustainable access to international markets. improving access to established international retail networks such as LuLu could contribute significantly to transforming agriculture from predominantly subsistence production into commercially oriented farming, particularly by encouraging farmers to produce consistently, improve quality and adopt internationally recognised standards. The discussions come at a time when economic and commercial relations between Uganda and the UAE are expanding rapidly. The UAE has emerged as a major destination for Uganda’s exports, reinforcing the importance of developing stronger institutional and private-sector partnerships that can broaden the range of Ugandan products reaching the UAE market. l invited LuLu Group to explore a structured partnership with Busoga Kingdom aimed at identifying suitable agricultural value chains, organising farmers and cooperatives, strengthening production and post-harvest systems, and establishing reliable channels through which qualifying products could access LuLu’s regional retail network.

Al-Mokha (Al-Mocha) Hospital Houthi-linked media and officials dispute the government's claims, stating that the group still controls Al-Mokha and the surrounding coastal areas. Following a surprise offensive, Houthi forces captured the strategic Red Sea port town of Mokha (Mocha), taking control of the area and nearby infrastructure. However, pro-government units—including the Nation's Shield Forces, the Giants Brigades, and the Tihama Resistance—subsequently launched counter-operations to retake the city, leading to intense clashes along Yemen's western coast. #Mocha #AlMocha #Dhubab #MeccaAgreement #factions #AlMokha #Mokha #ZuqarIslands #BabElMandebStrait #Mocha #Hudaydah #Hodeydah #Hodeida #Hudaida #Hodeda #Hays #War #WarYemen #Taizz #Marib #PresidentialLeadershipCouncil #PLC #SouthernYemen #Aden #SouthArabiaState #Aden #Yemen #SouthYemen #Houthis #AnsarAllah #STC #UAE #Iran #SaudiArabia #YemenWar #YemenCivilWar #UnitedArabEmirates #BabElMandeb #PerimIsland #MayyunIsland #Aden #Sanaa #Marib #Taiz #BabElMandab #BabElMandabStrait #بابالمندب

Why crude recovered but diesel didn't Standard Chartered published an analysis of Middle East oil flows, and the conclusion is worth attention. Gulf crude exports reached roughly 16.5 million barrels per day in September, close to pre-war levels. That does not mean things are back to normal. Where the difference went Before the war, 83% of those barrels crossed the Strait of Hormuz. In September, only 60%. The rest travels by other routes: pipelines through Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the Red Sea, the port of Fujairah. Same volume. Different paths. How it works in practice Much of the oil is now transferred between ships at sea. Smaller tankers carry cargo through the strait, then transfer it to larger vessels in the Gulf of Oman. Standard Chartered says this transfer capacity is close to saturated. Voyages are longer, vessels used inefficiently, freight and security costs elevated. There are reports of discounts up to $9 per barrel on cargoes loaded off Oman to offset the added logistics costs. The Saudi example The East-West pipeline was shut on 11 September after attacks. Exports shifted quickly to the east coast, with 19 very large crude carriers exiting the strait in a single week. The pipeline has since restarted, though throughput remains below nameplate capacity. One detail worth noting: that pipeline was built in the 1980s, during the Iran-Iraq war, for exactly this purpose — to bypass Hormuz. What is still missing Crude recovered. Refined products did not. Roughly 677,000 barrels per day of products now cross the strait. Before the war it was 3.6 million. That explains why diesel prices hit records while crude volumes look nearly normal. The raw material and the finished product are two different markets. What changed for Iran Iran's seaborne crude exports fell to near zero, from about 1.7 million bpd before the war. Its ability to use the strait as leverage is weakening. Analysts note this also raises the risk of unpredictable escalation. What it means Backup routes are working. Oil is moving. But the system has used up its slack. When everything functions only because every alternative is already in play, there is nothing left to absorb the next disruption. When you hear that something is back to normal, ask at what cost. The same numbers can describe a healthy system or one running at its limit. This is market analysis, not investment advice.
