Hargeisa —Members of Somaliland Cabinet and the intelligentsia have come up with ideas of investing in agriculture and cash crop, according to the state-run media.

“Our aim is to create jobs for the young men so that it will discourage them to immigrate other countries,” reads a statement from the government.

“We can feed ourselves, instead of importing food from countries as far as Brazil, if we encourage the farmers and invest in it to produce more crops.”

Professors from six Universities who attended the discussion said that President Muse Bihi Ahmed called on the College students in Somaliland to study agriculture.
