    "content": "One way of treating trade imbalance will be to source for markets aggressively. As policy makers of the country, we have to aggressively market our country and its products. It is important that we sell what we have out there as the best. Incentives have to be given if we are to produce and market what will compete out there. In our case, we are known for high taxation. So, without incentives our goods cannot compete out there. That is why it is cheaper to import eggs from Uganda, chicken from Tanzania, and sugar from Brazil when we have sugar industries here. It is simply because the rate of taxation in terms of inputs is too high and consequently the cost of production becomes extremely high."
