Moroto, town located in northeastern Uganda. Moroto is situated at an elevation of 4,500 feet (1,370 metres) and is linked by road with Soroti, 106 miles (170 km) southwest, and with Kaabong, 120 miles (193 km) northwest. The town is made up essentially of a line of small dukas (shops) and is dominated by nearby Mount Moroto (10,007 feet [3,050 metres]). Cattle are grazed on the surrounding scrub grassland, and food crops such as corn (maize), cassava (manioc), and soybeans are grown nearby. Crafts include woodwork, pottery, weaving, and clay products. There are several mission stations, and the town has an airfield. Pop. (2008 est.) 10,300.
