A
Ugandan natural health product supplier is rewarding its most dedicated
customers with an all-expenses-paid trip to Dubai while simultaneously urging
significant reforms within the country’s herbal and natural remedy market.
BeNatural Uganda announced that the new campaign will select a winner through
public voting on social media based on customer testimonials.
Founder
Angela Aguda Kobusingye explained the initiative was born from recognizing that
the company’s growth over the past seven years has been built largely on
customer referrals and trust, rather than traditional advertising. She stated
the Dubai trip is a gesture of appreciation to the community that has supported
the business since its inception.
Alongside
the celebration, Kobusingye issued a strong call for greater regulation and
standardization in Uganda’s burgeoning natural health sector. She highlighted
critical challenges, including the adulteration of traditional herbs with
modern pharmaceuticals and a lack of laws ensuring fair competition. These
gaps, she argued, undermine consumer trust, product efficacy, and leave the
public vulnerable to misleading information.
To
address these issues, Kobusingye urged the government to implement
comprehensive policies, stringent quality controls, and improved supply chain
infrastructure. She also emphasized the need for consumer education to promote
the safe use of natural remedies and combat misinformation.
The
COVID-19 pandemic served as a pivotal moment for BeNatural, as heightened
health consciousness and overwhelmed hospitals led many Ugandans to seek out
natural alternatives. Kobusingye also noted the impact of the digital age,
where increasingly informed customers often arrive with specific product
requests based on their own research.
Uganda’s
natural health market is experiencing significant growth, driven by rising
interest in plant-based and preventive healthcare. The sector now includes a
wide range of products from herbal teas to skincare formulations. BeNatural,
founded seven years ago, specializes in organic, locally-sourced remedies.
