Somali Region(SR) before 2020 produced similar amounts of produce to Somalia. The admin in recent years began a reform named “Dalag iyo Daryeel” aimed at inceasing the regions food security, gdp, aswell as battling effects of inflation in SR by keeping food costs low.

In the past year it went from a rival 1-2 million quintals/300k hectares to 23 million quintals and 770k hectares cultivated. SR jumped in agricultural output by 13-14x in a single year. Learn more here with the minister of agriculture

SR is this year planning to make another ~300k increase in hectares(around all of Somalias cultivated land iirc) and cultivate ~1 million hectares while simultaneously doubling the output. If completed SR will attain ~46 million quintals total.

On a landmass/population 50% of Somalia and in only 2 years of reforms SR can have 25x the total output of its neighbor and this is only scratching the surface of what’s still available on the Shabelle.
