Laaleys toothbrush

 

the typical somali toothbrush cost as little as 0,10 dollar cent. But the best toothbrush come from the historic trees of Laaleys, which are mentioned in the poems of the Sayid Abdulle Hassan. I can imagine that people would pay more with a pimped up and quality and designer toothbrush from laaleys.

Coral reef as building material

 

 

Somalias 3300 km coast is filled with dead coral reef. coral reef is one of the best, most sustainable building material. And its quite expensive.

Liquid frankincense/myrrh

 

Raw frankisence cost as little as 10 dollar a kilo in Sanaag. In Paris liquid frankicense is sold between 200 and 400 dollar a liter and is used in perfume, cosmetics, cremes, soaps, anything!!

[N.O.R.F]

^The last one would make money (and plenty of it).

[Carafaat]

Yeah, unfortuantly the frankisence tree owners and SL traders only earn a small fraction of the real market price. Most of the money is earned by Indian middleman and European wholesalers.

Aloe Vera drink

 

Nothing as health as Aloe Vera and nothign as tasty, refreshing and against thirst as a Aloe Vera Drink.

Information, Information, Information, Management and Service. There is a great need for this in Somalia, and a huge potential of money to be made.

The most lucrative and versatile one, with vast medical uses, would be this:

 

 

Mentioned in Islamic medicine or Quran, increasingly used as surgical dressing etc.

 

Our region is the ideal, year round, organic honey area not yet contaminated by modern beekeeping or pesticides (honey is already a serious sector in Yemen with strong local and Gulf demand).

From $10 to $200 the kilo abroad, even a large Somali demand is unmet (at 30$ the kilo, any little authentic supply here is immediately exhausted).

Sadly again, the little pure supply in Djibouti, Hargeysa or the Diaspora is often sourced from Ethiopia and the extraordinary potential in the South marginally exploited.

 

Few Somali families are already living well out of it even in drier areas: Beekeeping in Somaliland.

 

 

PS: I was surprised that even in Arabsiyo, we do not farm our own greens and keeping chickens or bees is not widespread: we would have done anything as children or teens to have a bit of land as gardening and chickens were our favorite summer passions (my tomato tree had fructified in a month back in 1996 using our charcoal ash as fertiliser).

Greens can be grown in the shade of fruits trees while benefiting them (ignorance about associated farming or how basic is beekeeping if you tolerate few absconding colonies).
