Somalis can survive on Bread but one issue

[UpRightDown]

Our soil can't grow wheat, but can grow Galeey, Qamandi, Purtoqal, Khaaro, Papaya iyo waax kale.

But the soil can't grow wheat because geography. You guys may bring Sudan and Eygpt these two countries naturally found wheat near the Nile.

Flour prices in Ethiopia are 1,100 to 1,500 birr imagine Somalia it can be around 100 to 300 USD for the usual Ration of Flour.

We need a proper staple crop, lets make it Qamandi the new wheat.

Wheat isn't even as energy rich as sorghum or barley. We can make breads out of those instead.

Wheat grows faster than Qamandi, it takes 4 months for wheat.

Also they are no business that won't want to manufacture the flour from this plant, since Laxoox is made from Wheat flour. We need to commercialise this product (Qamandi and Galeey), so when a case of famine occurs we can promote this ration for everyone. Because we rely to much on lifestock not agriculture.

We can't grow it, simply to geography because of our arid climate, Sorghum or Qamandi can grow because it can withstand it.

We need GMO's to grow wheat in somalia or we will end up paying alot of lacag for raashin.

That's nonsense!!! israel is sometime hotter than somalia and they can grow wheat, south africa is on our continent and grow wheat. No one has tried to grow wheat in somalia so how can you comment on our potential? Also the climate can be cooled by planting trees and rain fall can be increased. It's not possible at the moment but we can achieve a lot if we had the money.

It's semi arid climate meaning the damages can be reversed.
