What happend to the Lasqoray fish factory that Jale Siyad built. what happend to it?

it was the biggest factory in Somalia and costed millions of dollars.

Was it built by Jaale Siyaad?

FyI, The Italian government built the first plant in 1956. It was known as Tobjan. And in 1964, the Soviets built the biggest fish plant in Africa.

Jaale Siyaad was askari this time.


Xamud, The New one is totally different from the old one. The old giant one was looted and damaged by the Islamists when they briefly invaded the city in 1993. It's now used as storage facility, I was told.


Abdiwahab, Implementing a project like a port is fraught with risks. She rejected an offer to privatize its ownership or give it up large stake because of a possible conflict of interest in the future. Smart decision.


Amethyst, you right, security issues like Piracy and economic issues like the Great Recession has had a huge impact on its early implementation. Hopefully enough funds will come for its completion. Note, Port like roads is a public good only a government can build. It's an indivisable good sis.
Everything else comes at a lesser effort.
So this is a seminal stuff, the first of its kind.

Highland,

I would have privatized it because you can raise large amounts of private capital rather than depending on the charity of others. A private port would probably be better managed and run. In the end, the benefits would flow down to the locals.

Building a port and the required infrastructure is an intensive undertaking. Best of luck !

look at this tuna fish denying

It was built in 1973 by the Kacan. A year later another 1 was built in Kismayo.

Before the collapse of the Somali central government, the biggest fish factory in Africa was built in

"Siad Barre emphasized the great economic successes of the socialist experiment, a claim that had some truth in the first five years of the revolution. In this period, the government reorganized the sole milk-processing plant to make it more productive established tomato-canning, wheat flour, pasta cigarratte, and match factories, opened a plant that manufactured caradboard boxes and polythylene bags and established several grain mills and a petroleum refinery. In addition, the state put in to operation a meat-processing plant in Chisimayu, as well as fish-processing factory in Laas Qoray northeast of Erigavo."

Ive heard they told the metal to Arabta and wixi so haray they build a smaller one

That was what I wanted. It's her decision.

Highland,

Well, I know one thing: Somalis are more likely to contribute to commercial ventures than social ones.

Abdiwahab & Highland,

you know, I actually agree with her to a certain degree and think its for the better not to privatize either. Initially it may help with the building costs, and minimal maintenance in the first coupla years, but I'm sure the revenues derived alone by its uses could help pay for it as well. The big IF here obviously being IF its managed right by the people who are in charge of it. Third-parties tend to be a drag and stand in the way of local small businesses such as that of farmers, herders and fishermen imposing fee amounts that makes them flock to other ports. Look to the Berbera/Ethiopian deals, for an example.
