H.E. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud opened the First International Conference on Agri-Value Chain Investment, emphasizing the tremendous opportunities within Somalia's agricultural sector. The President underscored that Somalia is strategically positioned for growth and is ready to welcome global partnerships that will drive prosperity.

“Somalia is open for business, and our agricultural sector is ripe for investment. With over 3,300 km of coastline and a strategic location on major global shipping routes, we offer unparalleled access to international markets. Our young, dynamic population, with over 70% under the age of 30, is eager to embrace innovation. Together, we can transform this potential into prosperity, benefiting both our nation and the world,” President Hassan Sheikh stated.

The President further highlighted Somalia's commitment to improving agricultural infrastructure, promoting private sector engagement, and fostering innovation across the entire value chain. He invited investors to be part of Somalia's agricultural revolution, emphasizing the country's fertile lands, diverse climate, and potential for crops such as sesame, bananas, and mangoes.
