My grandfathers farm in Banaaney, Gedo -PIC

[uglybrother]

Juuba water?

How do they prepare the soil up there, now? That's a big field for one man with a yambo!

Yes, my grandad uses the Jubba river water. This is another picture from my cousin.

They getting the water supply:


Lol this is not the only field my maternal grandad owns, he has got two other farms in Faanweyn and Luuq Ganaane. My paternal grandads AUN farms are inherited by his children, my father got a farm in Luuq Ganaane and a house in Xamar, Luuq Ganaane and a piece of land in Beled-Xawo and his other siblings got other properties and lands

When did you say you receive this picture? Not the other one but this one?

Few months ago, had in my inbox for awhile. Why u asked?

My Brother recalls seeing many farms on the road from B Xaawo to Doolow. He would make the drive there often and the whole place was lined with farms and many of them grew mango, as well as other fruits. The Farm owners were actually very kind to strangers and will welcome You, and You can sit and eat as many as You want while You're there, as long as You do not abuse it by taking large quantities to go sell in the market. Btw, the scenery with the mountains of Ethiopia on one side, Kenya on the other is amazing on that road

Interesting do they use fertilisers?? I wonder what kind of techniques they use in Somalia. What are the crop yield.

I would love to see a comprehensive analysis of agriculture production in Somalia. For a nation such as ours, I think it is becoming clear to all that we need to conquer the land.

Farming is good and great but I think You have to have a diversified economy and different livlihoods, trade, commerce, farming, lifestock, etc.


Case in point our bros/sis in Bay/Bakool When the drought got severe and all their crops failed they basically went into instant famine because while they are excellent farmers they do not have any xoolo/lifestock to fall back on, and there is no river in those regions so they are dependent on rain.

I don't know about other regions but fertilizers are used extensively in Middle and Lower Shabelle Valley. Irrigation is also extensively used as are canal networks.

Murax,This can be done under a competent administration. You dont need alot of farmers to feed the nation. Provide with tractors and othern modern equipment problems solved.


Voltage it would be beneficial to see if the farming techniques are sustainable. I mean look at Haiti a nation that used to export rice is now importing rice.



Roving , Shabbele was always rich in farming. I wonder if we are setting ourselves up for a disaster like haiti.

Very Nice. I wish I was from Gedo.

Actually a large number of people in Bay/Bakool are pastoralists.

Not really, and definitely not in comparison to the rest of Somalis. They're primairy thing is farming and they're pretty good at it.

[XimanJaale]

I agree with Murax, people in Bay and Bakool do not have many livstocks, they mainly farm.
