Neither have I but I assume they do they’re a lot more advanced than you think for example they’re using their own version of applepay/mobile payments.etc
Good man. May you succeed in your endeavours.It isn't that i don't think they are advanced, i am looking at different business opportunities that i will inshallah be exploring this summer. I will only be going this year for research and then inshallah create the businesses i believe i have the most chance of succeeding with next year.
Before i start, just want to point out i haven't been back home before.
Always wondered how do people buy meat back home, do you have to buy a whole animal even if you only want say 2 kilos.
How do people store meat?
Are there butchers and do they have cold storage?
I’m currently in hargeisa, everything is expensive considering it’s a third world country. Meat is around $12 per kilo. Milk is around $1.60 per liter. Fruits aren’t cheap either. Dining at a 3 start restaurant will cost you $12 per person. WTF. I’m gonna travel to Ukraine and Thailand next time.
Interesting. Prices should reflect local income capacity. This seems inflated and not adjusted according to local capacity. Where is your market controls and laws? But then again, they must know something or else they will lose their produces and get nothing and be out of business in the long run. Especially perishable items, you can't sell that expensive or it will ROT. It's not like an IPHONE that u can keep on shelf.
Easily 10k NGO/mid level government workers in that city earning more than 20k a year. Add to that the diaspora, buisness owners and the lack of infrastructure to produce dairy/vegetables.
Everything but livestock and charcoal is imported to somalia from abroad. The levies placed on companies via berbera and wajaale are so expensive, that most non habr awal buisnesses use the bosaso port.
But habar awal is smart they need to charge u HIGH price or else ur prostituting them and they gain nothing. Bosaso port is used like a and nothing is put into bosaso, they just run back to their tuulo and make a killing cuz the tax is so low. I hate puntland economic policy. They damage our roads, our port, and we just collect 2 dollars which wont cover the maintainance let alone inu meesha dhismo.
What is even worse is these baboon rahanwayn. They taking PL money thru small trading markets and never invest back into our city. They send it to Baidoa. f*ck them wallahi. Good on @Samaalic Era for wacking them off, their parasites.
@Qabille Puntland built Bosaso, be it from mudug-nugaal-or Bari. They re-invest back in the city, they create headquarters and properties in the city. These rahanwayn do not. These southies do not. These non habar awal do not. What is that to u if it's not prostituting? small trade market doesn't benefit puntland, their dominated by rahanwayn now. So this money you spreading while your there for a few days doesn't even go to Bosaso, it goes straight to Baidoa in the end.
What's bosaso property prices like sxb? Preferably outside the city..
