Trade partner concentration — by country, all commodities, current

How concentrated Uganda's trade is across its top partner countries, computed from currently-tracked trade flows (not the historical 1997–2015 World Bank dataset). Measures country-to-country concentration only — Uganda's trade_flows records don't carry product-level detail to break this down further.

Bilateral trade flows
Uganda is not among the top tracked corridors — its bilateral flow records exist in the full 1,821,338-row dataset but aren't yet browsable individually on this site.
Full partner list for 2024

Every one of Uganda's 138 real trading partners reported for 2024 under UN Comtrade (UG) — a complete, deduplicated partner breakdown for this exact country/source/period combination, not a global top-N slice.

Historical Exporter Dynamics
Historical dataset — World Bank Exporter Dynamics Database, 1997–2014, frozen. The World Bank has not published a newer edition; this never updates. Uganda also has a single-year firm entry/exit snapshot on /labor-market.

Firm-level entry/exit/survival dynamics for Uganda's exporting firms, whole economy (not broken down by product) so every figure below is a genuine national rate — never an average across incompatible product categories. See /exporter-dynamics to compare Uganda against all 68 covered countries.

The 2010 mean is 75x the median — a small number of large exporting firms account for most of the export value; the typical firm exports far less than the average figure suggests.

Entrant survival curve — 2009 cohort of new exporting firms: 42.1% still exporting after 1 year — later years not yet available for this cohort (the World Bank vintage ends before enough time passed to observe them).
