Project Name:Improving Production and Quality of Vegetables and Fruits in Somaliland

Project status:Projects in Operation

Cooperating Country:Africa, Somaliland

Project Description:

Impacted by extreme climate events, Somaliland's traditional livestock-based agricultural activities have suffered from drought and locust outbreaks. Furthermore, epidemic animal diseases have restricted exports to Gulf countries, which has impacted national finance and rural livelihoods. Traditional cereals such as sorghum, maize, and millet are produced for domestic consumption, but vegetable and fruit production are limited by materials, equipment, and techniques. Because of low production and poor quality, vegetable and fruit production cannot be a major alternative source of livelihood. To echo SDG 2 and SDG 17, this project intends to cooperate with Somaliland's Ministry of Agriculture to focus on vegetable and fruit production zones and improve techniques, increase production, build capacity for extension staffs and farmers, upgrade the post-harvest process, and link farmer organizations and markets, in order to achieve local consumption and reduce imports. The project objectives include establishing a demonstration farm for demo and training, providing services to selected vegetable and fruit production zones, providing training for female vendors in the market, and assisting extension officials with capacity building.
