Minister Sajin said he would commend Omaar Group for setting up a fish factory in the country.

The trade deficit between Somaliland and Ethiopia is huge, we import a lot from Ethiopia, but we do not export anything, said Commerce Minister.
We complained against Ethiopia for the huge exportation, but their response was if you have a local product to export we will buy? We do not have locally sourced products.
The world of trade is collapsing, every country would survive on locally produced food, I call on the country’s businessmen to initiate commercial farming, for the survival of our people.
