  • Does agriculture methane affect crop production in Somalia?
  • Apart from the fact that these studies concluded blended findings, however, they did not consider the effect of agriculture methane emissions on crop production in Somalia, which has been very significant for the past three decades. Agriculture methane emissions represent 85.1 % of the total emissions in Somalia (World Bank, 2022).
  • Does environmental pollution affect crop production in Somalia?
  • A striking result of our study is that environmental pollution and degradation have blended effects on crop production in Somalia in the long run. Environmental degradation is statistically insignificant in the short run. In the short run, CO 2 emissions have the same effect as in the long run.
  • What crops are exported in Somalia?
  • Sesame is now the largest export among crops, followed by dried lemon, in the wake of the total collapse of banana exports. Despite Somalia¡¯s rich fish stocks, coastal fishing has remained small-scale and artisanal while foreign commercial vessels have enjoyed both legal and illegal harvesting offshore.
  • How does land degradation affect crop production in Somalia?
  • The key drivers of land degradation in Somalia are the dependence on traditional biomass energy¡ªcharcoal and firewood¡ª, and unsustainable agriculture cultivation methods. In this regard, this study assesses the role of CO 2 emissions, agriculture methane emissions, and environmental degradation on crop production in Somalia from 1990 to 2018.
  • What are the main sources of economic activity in Somalia?
  • Livestock and crops remain the main sources of economic activity, employment, and exports in Somalia. Agriculture¡¯s share of gross domestic product (GDP) is approximately 75%, and represents 93% of total exports, mostly linked to robust livestock exports in the recent pre-drought years.
  • What is needed to make Somali agriculture competitive?
  • ¡°Natural resource management, increased crop production, postharvest long-term storage technologies and private sector-led modernization of the sector is needed to make Somali agriculture outputs competitive.
