Taiwan’s Representative to Somaliland, Ambassador Allen Lou, has expressed delight in signing the Agricultural Implementing Arrangement for 2026-2030, marking a significant step forward in bilateral cooperation between Taiwan and Somaliland.
The new agreement signed with Somaliland’s Agriculture Minister Mohamoud builds on existing partnerships and expands the scale of agricultural initiatives with increased financial support. It aligns closely with Somaliland’s Vision 2030, the National Development Plan III, and the National Seed Development Policy, while contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of Zero Hunger.
The new agreement signed with Somaliland’s Agriculture Minister Mohamoud Ige Yusuf builds on existing partnerships and expands the scale of agricultural initiatives with increased financial support. It aligns closely with Somaliland’s Vision 2030, the National Development Plan III, and the National Seed Development Policy, while contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of Zero Hunger.
At the heart of the project is the enhancement of Somaliland’s seed system – identified as a fundamental pillar of the country’s food security framework. The initiative includes the establishment of a new demonstration farm, envisioned as a central agricultural development hub. This hub aims to drive momentum in food security, climate change resilience, and broader agricultural transformation across Somaliland.
“Food is our common language, and building climate resilience is our common goal,” Ambassador Lou stated. “Let’s work together to promote the Right to Food for a better life and a better future in Somaliland and throughout the Horn of Africa.”
The signing underscores Taiwan’s long-standing commitment to supporting Somaliland’s sustainable development, particularly in agriculture, as part of efforts to foster self-reliance and regional stability.
This collaboration is expected to benefit farmers, strengthen local food systems, and enhance resilience against climate challenges in the region.
