The Somali livestock industry

The current model of the Somali livestock industry is simple and this needs to change. In the current model, greater revenues are to be achieved by selling a greater number of livestock and this is not sustainable, reliable or desirable. The drive to increase exports of live animals year upon year is creating unneccesary stress on our fragile ecosystem. We could quite easily be making the same amount of export revenue from selling perhaps half of the total livestock we sell now by simply adding value . This would relieve a lot of the pressures on our ecosystem and perhaps stop overgrazing, soil degredation and eventual desertification. Lets be honest, it is not about feeding as many arab mouths as possible to our detriment but about making money. Another strategy in which we could double or triple the revenue from this sector by maintaining the number of livestock sales but by adding value and integrating the supply.

What we need is a more sophisticated model of growth for this industry and to be precise what we need is value addition so that we can achieve greater profit (margins). We also need to vertically integrate the supply chain so that we can keep all the jobs created by the process of not only rearing, slaughtering and processing meat but also spin-off industries and related products and by-products and so as to cut out the middle man (ME) whenever possible. Currently Somali livestock is slaughtered and processed in the middle east and they make money and benefit from jobs related to by-products such as hides and skins, leather etc. One neccesary component for success will be access to market and proper branding and marketing. So far Burco is at the forefront of modernising the Somali Livestock Industry.

This strategy could be applied to many of the commodities and industries Somalis trade in e.g. Frankincense and Mirr. If this trategy was followed we could easily create many new jobs, tax revenue and better living standards for our people.

The major players in the industry (domestic and foreign) will try to resist any change to the model of which they have become rich as they will want to maintain their stranglehold on the market and this needs to be factored into any strategy to develop this sector.

If only I had the money :mrgreen:

With good governance & Political stability in Somalia, we can be spared from intense competition in the dark continent and become a Major power, by simply targeting African consumers. This ofcourse will not result in neglecting middle eastern & European consumers. :up:

This is not even a case of "running before you can walk". This is "flying before you can crawl". The chances of Somalia fulfilling even one of the criteria you mentioned is slim to non. Let alone, Somalia fulfilling all of them.

I like how you see light at the end of the tunnel. :lol: It's admirable.

Political instability & terrorism in Somalia will probably end by the middle of Next year (and thats a pessimistic estimate).


Then , when the transition ends. A elected goverment will emerge and i do not believe these ideas are far fetched. It is Somalia's destiny to rule the Horn Economicly,militarily & Politicly. We have the most Allies,connections and strategic significance in the Eastern part of Africa (if not all).

As i said, these are not far fetched ideas. :up:

International Somali refinery companies



Hass-Petroleum- Refinery Industry

Founded in 1997 by two brothers, the late Abdirizak Ali Hassan and Abdinasir Ali Hassan, the HASS Petroleum Group is a regional Oil Marketing Company (OMC) with significant presence in East Africa and the Great Lakes region. From its humble beginnings as a fuel re-seller, the company is now one of the most renowned oil marketers, with fully fledged operating business units in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Southern Sudan, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Image
With its corporate headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, the company’s core business is the importation, distribution and marketing of petroleum products in countries where we have registered business units. The company also has invested significantly in retail outlets - petrol stations - and sizable oil storage terminals. The company's recently commissioned oil terminal in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania has an installed capacity of 34 million liters, and serves our southern corridor markets of Tanzania, and the neighboring landlocked countries of D.R.C. - Katanga Province, Rwanda, Burundi and Zambia. The northern corridor markets - Kenya, Uganda, Southern Sudan, and D.R.C. (North-East provinces) - are served by imports via Kenya's Mombasa port.

Interview with one of the Owners:

Somali companies based outside Somalia can in the near future make deals with the goverment so that they can atleast be part goverment owned, and thus through goverment finance the companies can expand and grow even more.
