We have fertile land by the rivers like in beledweyne, shabeelaha, jubooyinka, gedo etc....we can definitely turn those lands into mega farms producing protien, vitamin rich crops.

You should go and see how these farms look like in Uganda. Kenya's farms will be nothing compared to Uganda farms. For Somalia, we need sustained peace and stability 1st.

Kenya's most fertile regions get around the same rainfall as a place like Afgooye, they just know how to use it. Somalia needs to let the farming sector grow on its own. The old regime subsidized agriculture and hurt private farmers brutally, we'll be lucky if most of them return to Somalia after decades of socialist meddling and warlord rule; as much as I disagree with the practice, Somalia's new class of post-war agribusiness adventurists might be able to revive the trade but it'll be much more of a monopoly than it was in the past.

although those farms create alot of jobs directly and indirectly,yet it really hurted the local kenyan farmers and turned them into daily workers after the big European investors gobbled up their lands or marginalized their indigenous farming techniques with their high tech efficiency and finally forced them out of biz.Kenyans law makers need to start taking care of their own farmers rather than catering to investors,talk about misplaced priorities.this is nothing more than a land grabbling bubble,it is unsustainable and will come down on their heads pretty soon.for now they can abuse their workers,enviroment..etc all they want.

Big companies always do more damage to the econmies and make them less robost and less versatile in the long run. Sure they make goods cheaper on the shelfs, but they also concentrate wealth among a few rather than among many. :down:

What good is cheaper goods when you don't have as much money to spend. :?

Totally agreed with you. Once the Port in Mogadishu is approved for Banana Exporting, then you will find a real agricultural boom. As someone that comes from land-owning family, I optimistically anticipate that day and I hope it is sooner rather than later.

White farmers,
Chinese farmers,
Arab farmers,
Indians farmers,

All in Africa, farming our precious fertile land feeding their own people back home.

This is quite disgusting and revolting. Africans have literally failed big time at agriculture. Farming and agriculture is a part of your national security, yet these white farmers and others are starting to gain a strangle hold on this industry. :down: :down: :down: :down:
