Somaliland Food Economy Areas

Each year during the rainy seasons the Hargeisa-Gabiley Borama Corridor produces 60-70 thousand tonnes of sorghum and Maize....and that's only through rain-fed farming by local farmers....the total cereal grain consumption in Somaliland is around 300,000 tonnes which means majority of food is imported to supplement for the difference....Somaliland could easily feed it's self if projects are undertaken that involve diverting season rivers to agricultural land, drilling more wells, building dams, reservoirs etc. this would allow farming even during the dry season meaning more domestic production and less imports ....

This is an interesting assessment that was done by this consultancy firm where I got those figures from but they are kinda outdated, it's from 2011...

I noticed one thing about back home and that's the soil is very very rich in nutrients. I've seen ppl plant watermelon, peanuts, peppers, onions, trees and tomatoes all in the same soil and they grew wallahi

If it rains once in awhile the whole country turns green. Hawd and saraar have alot of agriculture potential but the people need two things,First to be informed and then for the government to invest in efficient water catchment techniques



True. Water sources play a part in it though, in Sanaag apart from Northern mountain areas of Sanaag which has
springs, seasonal rivers, other parts of Sanaag is lowland with not much seasonal rivers, water doesn't get by easily, you
have to dig for it or wait for the rain. This is where creating a a water reservoir would come handy.
