Somalia exports fish after 30-year break

[Farm]

For the first time in 30 years Somalia has begun exporting fish to neighbouring Kenya, thanks in part to a reduction in the level of piracy off the Somali coast.

The civil war in Somalia has prevented many businesses from developing, but fish traders in the port of Kismayo say they are now able to export thanks to better refrigeration at a new processing factory.

Kingfish and tuna are the most popular.

In recent years Kenya has increased its imports of fish from China as the country's supply, from the coast as well as Lake Victoria, has been unable to match demand.

This is a huge opportunity for Somalia especially in the wake of the plastic food scandal from China. Somalia is extremely lucky that their neighbors and Africa in general has so many open markets it means we have a semblance of catching up in a few decades rather than never.

Or you know they can just... eat it?

So you're saying they should stop all fishery businesses because they need to eat the fish they have an abundant supply of?

Morroco makes a billion roughly a year from fishing probably more now, somalis don't really eat fish so what's that more can be exported. Theirs a Fishing company in maydh that sells kidney oil from a shark to china for alot, and they sell the meat of that fish all the way to Congo

Bro Somalis are barely surviving with aid

 

[felloff]

Fishing in the Coast, Farming by the rivers Somali republic should be self sufficient and export oriented.

Yes, due to a drought and a civil war that's predominantly in the south. There's no government structure, which is the cause of the starvation. Not having fishery businesses ain't gonna solve the God damn problem.
