This Act makes provision for the control on the trade in sugar, i.e. sugar in any of its commercial forms, including jaggery, except the product sold as final molasses. It grants power to the Minister to periodically determine the quantity of sugar, other than sugar exported to the East African territories for local consumption, that may be exported during any quota year from Uganda. The Minister shall allocate the quota determined among the manufacturers of each sugar factory and may at any time vary and adjust the allocation. Sugar may only be exported under licence obtained from the Commissioner of Agriculture.
