Livestock Exports to Hit $1B in 2025

Somalia’s livestock exports are set to surpass $1 billion (Sh129.2 billion) in 2025. Gulf countries are driving the strong demand. Reduced competition from Sudan and Australia also boosted exports. Government data showed earnings rose from $523 million in 2021 to $974 million in 2024. Analysts said Sudan’s conflict and Australia’s export limits opened new market opportunities. Officials stressed the need to improve infrastructure, enforce regulations, and build climate resilience to maintain growth.
