Somalia is going through a unique and progressive transformation, with immense trade opportunities to be exploited. Strategically located in the Horn of Africa and home to the longest coastline on the continent, the country is within reach of international transportation hubs in both the Middle East and Indian Ocean. Despite two decades of conflict, Somalia’s agricultural sector has remained resilient and production is growing to meet rising regional and international demand for high-quality agricultural commodities.
Somalia’s major ports, including Mogadishu and Kismayo in the south, and Berbera and Bosaso in the north, are a short distance to and from the main production areas. This combined with fertile agricultural land and a well established private sector has put Somali business at a turning point in terms of global trade.
