Crop production plays an important role in Somalia’s economic development. It contributes significantly as a major source of income and employment while substituting import goods, thus reducing foreign expenditures.

This sub-sector is a major occupation for the rural population and accounts for a large share of the total agricultural output. The Crops sub-sector, under agriculture provides national food and nutritional security and income generation through local and export markets.

Playing a significant role in the delivery of Sustainable Development Goals such as, SDG 2- zero hunger and SDG1- No poverty. It also helps the Somali government in coming closer to realizing its National Transformation Plan 2025-2029.

Unfortunately, Somalia continues to import large quantities of both fresh and processed fruits and food products to meet the high demand for local

consumption. In addition, percentage of Somalia food requirements are met through imports.

Seeds are the basic unit of any farming venture. They are the heart of the sector and have a significant influence on the quality and quantity of a harvest. The line between total crop failure and quality crop production can easily be drawn out of the quality of the seeds cultivated. This is why Gaalooge does not spare any expense when it comes to the production and preparation of quality certified seeds, that are well adopted to the Somali environment.

Gaalooge has been producing certified seeds since 2019. Our seeds are locally produced, tested and certified by SARIS.

Though out the year, Gaalooge has seen successful production, certification and commercialization of cereal seeds, vegetable seeds, Legume seeds and fodder seeds.
