You are misinforming people.

Lets look at the example farm discussed above in Eyl, this is a satellite view of it:

This is very small scale farming, insignificant for all intents and purposes, zero commercial value.

Compare that to the farming communities of Beer for example (satellite image taken from the same distance):

Beer, a small town to the east of Burco has a higher agricultural output than the entirety of Puntland.

Another example is Gabiley, again the satellite image taken from the same altitude as the Eyl and Beer ones:

First of all nobody in this thread, at any point, said that this one farm in Eyl is a large farm or that it's producing a lot of food.

But you are itching to engage in some satellite photo war and I am not interested.

The fact is and remains that Puntland has made a huge push into farming and is selling produce to other Somali States. Running to google maps and zooming in and out will not change that.

Farm consolidation need to happen because small farmers cannot invest that much into their farms.
One of my friends whose family owns farm told that most farms are less than 10 hectares and i don't think these small farms can invest that much.
Farms need to get big to invest in equipment in order to become productive.

You can not hide behind these random claims without showing us the farms.

Go on, show us the largest commercial farming community in Puntland. As an example, here is Kalabaydh:

Selling a box of tomatoes to some randoms does not equal commercial agricultural activity.

@Neero

Don't listen to this man, he's being untruthful.

Farming is booming in Puntland to the extent where farmers are even selling produce to South Somalia. Check the farming thread in the development section.

What areas of PL? You mean Caal Madow right? Cause the rest of PL is veri arid

Not true,

There are farms in Mudug, Bari and Nugaal.

FAO released a report that outlined that Puntland has soil that is suitable for farming and that's why there has been such a large increase in farming in recent years. We no longer rely wholly on importing produce from Southern Somalia as we used to.
