Coffee farm

[Abdisamad]

Guys I it possible to have a coffee farm in Somalia? I know they have some in Ethiopia and Kenya, but what about somali soil? Is it possible to plant coffee bean plants and is it sustainable like in Kenya and Ethiopia?

Fairly high altitude and temps ranging from 60° to 75° F, support the growth of coffee.

Maybe in the mountainous/hilly area in Somalia and that are wet if that even exists there.


Surprisingly the coffee belt map includes Somalia, but I never heard or seen coffee being grown in Somalia. Maybe because somalis favor tea with spices more than coffee

Maybe in some regions, but the climate there isn't favorable to support the growth of coffee.

We already export sesame, frackincense and myrrh to the west.

Somalia has so much potential.. But it's like our people are sleeping on the potential and opportunities the countries offering and we rather keep depending on foreign nations hand outs.. Imagine if Somalis could utilize and benefit from all the potentials both at sea and on land.. There won't be any more hungry Somalis asking for hand outs.

And it would put a dent in our neighbours economy as we would be self-sufficient. Win-win.

Somalia has one of the best soils. Fertile lands just waiting for the right people to take advantage of it

True.. Even the damned khat plant can be home grown and the cash stays in the loop in our country.

Great land but cursed with useless inhabitants.. I hope this new generation changes for the better.

I have great hopes for the diaspora as we are able to look at it from a different angle. So many people have great ideas and its so exciting to hear.

Shabelle region do grow grapes and bananas but idk about sunflowers. However, since they do grow in warmer areas, my guess is they're probably grown somewhere in Somalia

Bananas are a main export in there though

Its the incompetent leaders. They don't know shit yet they are given power, in my opinion only the diaspora can fix it, they come together and everyone pitches in their area of expertise things can be done.

Nothing is impossible, it's just a case of when ?

Somalis will rather run to turkey or kenya then build their own country.

True.. Knowledge is power walahi

Somalia used to be one of the top sesame exporters, but now it's not due to civil war

They also export frankincense to the Vatican, Pope's reer

It's not impossible to grow coffee in Somalia tbh.. if the yahuud made a desert into a forest, then why not somalis? Well figure out the difference between two and you will find what we're really missing
