The Federal Government of Somalia, through the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI), has designed the National Industrial Policy to transition the economy from traditional subsistence to a diversified, export-led industrial state.
Strategic Pillars:
Value Addition: Moving from exporting raw materials (livestock, crops) to processed goods.
SME Support: Providing technical assistance and access to credit for local manufacturers.
Infrastructure: Developing Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and industrial parks with reliable energy and transport links.
Regulatory Reform: Streamlining business licensing and protecting intellectual property to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
Somalia has identified five high-priority sectors based on local resource availability and market demand:
Food & Agro-Processing: Transforming raw livestock, milk, and crops (sesame, bananas) into packaged, shelf-ready products.
Construction Materials: Development of local cement, brick, and glass production to support the national urban boom.
Textiles: Revitalizing the cotton-to-garment value chain, leveraging historical expertise in weaving.
Fisheries Processing: Establishing canning and cold-chain facilities along the 3,333 km coastline to process tuna and lobster for international markets.
Salt Production: Exploiting vast coastal solar salt potential for both domestic use and industrial export.
