Gulu is a wholesale and distribution hub, where traders buy mixed containers of building materials, tools and consumer goods for onward sale across Uganda.
Harvest timing sets the calendar for buyers around Gulu: bearings, couplings and chains must arrive before the season, so we plan production backwards from that date.
Wholesalers in Gulu ask for assortment containers, a mix of fast-moving SKUs in carton quantities, so their stock turns faster than with single-product loads.
