I can't wait to see when African countries start manufacturing finished goods.
Plants are moving west from China to Vietnam and Indonesia to cut down on shipping and labour. As these markets grow and get more expensive to manufacture Africa will be primed up to export finished goods at lower costs.
Camel Milk industry is recently becoming popular and Somalia produces the highest amount of Camel Milk. But it can't be exported because we don't have proper facilities [Link].
"The name "Somali" is, in turn, held to be derived from the words soo and maal, which together mean "go and milk" — a reference to the ubiquitous pastoralism of the Somali people." [Link]
U.A.E has recently got into the Camel milk trend and is expected to dominate this market

Australia with its relativity small camel population (camels are considered pests down under and are being culled) are also getting into this industry. In
Australia 1 Litre of Camel Milk can cost up to $26-30
