Somalia, TİKA Expand Agricultural Development Initiative with 10 Additional Greenhouses

Mogadishu, (SONNA) – The Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation has received 10 additional greenhouses installed by the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA) in cooperation with the Ministry, as part of efforts to modernize agriculture, increase domestic food production and create employment opportunities for Somali youth.

The initiative forms the second phase of TİKA’s support for Somalia’s agricultural sector, building on an earlier phase that saw 10 greenhouses handed over to young women to support their participation in farming and income-generating activities.

The handover of the additional greenhouses was led by Siyaad Abdi Jama, Acting Director General and Director of Administration and Finance at the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation.

The newly received facilities are expected to be allocated to other young people, providing opportunities to engage in modern agricultural production and develop sustainable livelihoods.

The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening food security, expanding domestic agricultural production and promoting employment for women and youth, while acknowledging TİKA’s cooperation and support in advancing Somalia’s agricultural development.
