The land is un-touched, un-used. Perfect for oil fields, we can lease the whole land basically and make it used for mining and oil. That's why oil countries tend to be places where the land is un-used as they fear dislodging settlers or farmers from they're land.
That's why all oil production happen in either deserts like gulf-iraq-iran or russia,canada and nations with large ice shelfs. These lands serve no purpose so they are deemed as suitable for mining/oil production. Let's make use of the land and turn into a mining boom with our mountains being our mining source and our land being our OIL and Water source.
Quickly make money from OIL and Minerals and re-invest strategically into 'farming' land. Our soil is ready, it's been tested a sample. It hasn't worn out to the extent of the SAHARA or Saudi Arabia where it has converted to sand, that is hard to plant seeds into. Our soil is still soft underneath, all it needs is water, seed, and sun and grass will grow.
That's why after the rains you see 'grass' like savannah. PL is fertile enough for farming let no-1 tell you other wise. How much farm land do we want without disturbing livestock nomad is another question. I say just enough so we can produce enough food for Puntlanders, we don't need to turn it into an export industry at all, I am not competing with dulis from the south over a few apples or bananas which is a low GDP product anyways, it's bloody 2 dollars in the market by the kilo.
