3.5 Competitive Analysis
The competition for the banana nano cellulose and aerogels project in the field of wound dressing and related products will be assessed using SWOT analysis. The analysis reveals the threats and weaknesses associated with the project, primarily stemming from the low investment and customer base in Uganda. The textile, medical, healthcare, and agriculture mills in the country operate below full capacity due to high production costs and a limited demand for locally produced banana nano cellulose and aerogels. These challenges are further exacerbated by intense competition from low-cost imports.
To effectively control the competition, it is essential to consider companies operating in the natural fiber textiles sector, such as cotton industries. Comparisons between this project and other competitors within and outside Uganda will provide insights into market positioning and competitiveness.
However, there are also opportunities and strengths to leverage. The government of Uganda has introduced incentives to encourage investments in the textile industry. Investors in cotton, textile, medical, healthcare, and agriculture sectors can access several benefits, including:
All sectors are liberalized for marketing and investment.
Free outflow and inflow of capital are permitted.
100% foreign ownership of investment is allowed.
The Ugandan economy ranks eighth out of 46 Sub-Saharan African countries in terms of economic freedom (2013 Index of Economic Freedom).
According to John Baffes (2009), several entities have been established to regulate, support, and develop the textile sector. These entities can serve as valuable data resources for setting benchmarks for the banana nano cellulose and aerogels project. Some notable entities include:
Cotton Development Organization (CDO): A statutory body established in 1994 to regulate the industry and collect/disseminate statistics. It is financed by levies imposed on cotton exports. The CDO can provide advice on promoting sustainability in the banana textile industry.
Uganda Ginners & Cotton Exporters Association (UGCEA): A private sector organization formed in 1997 with compulsory membership for all ginners. Its objective is to coordinate activities such as input financing, operating demonstration plots, and providing a forum for discussions. UGCEA can provide guidance on dealing with farmers, financing the project, processing the fibers, and sales.
Audit, Control & Expertise (ACE): An international inspection and collateral management company that monitors investments in production promotion and procurement activities by ginners.
