Traditional full time farmers are cabdale and bahgeri in gobolka Shabeele. Mixed farming and cow rearing is practiced by mz, cawdaaq and cabdale of waamo ( jubaland nfd).
Cawlyahan were seasonal farmers traditionally but more focused on their camel lifestyle. They have been influence by their bahgeri and cabdale( tolomoge) neighbors recently they settle in cadaadle in Shabeele where the rice farms are located.

There's a special kind of rice(bashoori) that the community in aan around Balambala grow. It has never gone large scale farming. I don't why.

It's not possible to be farmed at a large scale because it is a water intensive crop.

It can be grown aerobically instead of with the flooded paddies and will then require much less water.

You can grow it using drip irrigation aswell but it requires too much capital for africans.

Is this also not possible in Somalia?

Large scale?

Large scale?

Before the war, rice was primarily produced in Jowhar, Balacad, Barrire and Qorioley, which are located along the Shabelle River. There were plans to expand production on a large scale, particularly in the Juba area including Bardehere, Jilib, and Jamama. However, due to the outbreak of the civil war, these plans were put on hold.
