Uganda case study Trade and Aid

Lesson starter The trade game: In the last lesson you played the trade game. Now we are going to reflect on what it taught us. Answer the following questions in full sentences in your jotter.

What country did you represent? What raw materials did you start with? What equipment did you start with? How much money did you make at the end of the game? What problems did you encounter whilst making your goods? What have you learnt about the pattern of world trade?

Introduction Aims of this lesson: To look at a case study of trade in a developing country. To find out why the changing prices of primary goods can have big consequences on developing countries.

Introduction to Uganda Uganda is a country in mid-eastern Africa. It is a very poor country. Uganda has a very good climate for farming and it is well suited to cattle farming. Uganda is mainly flat land and this is therefore good for the production of goods too. Despite this Uganda is one of the poorest countries in the world.

Trade in Uganda Uganda has always had a trade deficit (since it began to trade). However this trade deficit has become a lot worse since Uganda’s main export is coffee (a Primary good). Uganda’s main imports are almost all manufactured goods such as machinery, and chemicals (used for farming)

Coffee Trade As with all primary goods the coffee trade can have it’s ups and downs. In 1977 for example the price of coffee was very high and this meant that Uganda could buy 5 times more manufactured good than they can today. The price of coffee has been falling and in 1996 it hit an all time low, however the price is again returning to that low now.

The effects of coffee prices on farmers When the price of coffee goes down it can cause many problems. What do you think these could be? Can’t afford to buy important goods such as food and clothes. May not be able to send their children to school or to the hospital (these are paid for in Uganda) They can’t risk changing crops because coffee bushes take so long to re-grown (when they are first grown)

TASK Turn to page 109 of the International issues book Use the information on pages to answer either the GENERAL QUESTIONS ON PAGE 108, or THE CREDIT QUESTIONS ON PAGE 113. If you get those finished write up notes on the fair trade foundation. (page 111, what are they? What do they mean for developing countries)
