Amuria, Uganda: Regional Center and Agricultural Hub of Eastern Uganda
Amuria is the regional capital of Eastern Uganda, part of the Eastern Region, and is located in the interior of Uganda on the border with Kenya, with a predominantly savannah climate and distinct wet and dry seasons. As the administrative and economic center of the region, Amuria has a population of about 200,000 (estimated in 2023), with a predominantly Iteso population. Agriculture is the mainstay of the industry, producing cotton, millet, cassava and groundnuts, and animal husbandry is relatively well-developed, with extensive cattle and goat farming. Although infrastructure is still being developed, Amuria is emerging as a core area for agricultural trade and services in Eastern Uganda by virtue of its position as a transportation hub connecting to the surrounding region, and the local culture, which retains its traditional tribal dances and handicrafts, attracts tourists interested in the rural culture of East Africa.
