Muqdisho Fresh Fruits Company

In 2013 bananas were fourth among the main world food crops (after rice, wheat, and maize) in financial values. Somalia is one of African Caribbean Pacific (ACP) countries that export commercial bananas. Somalia is re-starting banana export after being absent from the world markets for some time. Muqdisho Fresh Fruits is experienced banana grower and trader in Somalia, with 12 years in the export banana trading business and with strong logistics partnerships and networks. Thanks to mainly the Turkish government, the political stability and socio-economic conditions of Somalia are steadily progressing and the country is becoming more transparent and investment friendly. This progress necessitates the comeback and poses an opportunity of the Somali banana export. Muqdisho Fresh Fruits Company's vital target priority is to identifying and entering partnership agreement with financially solid marketing company in the Middle East and Turkish markets where we can position ourselves for the Somali banana trade. There are over 12,000 hectares of potential banana plantations in the Lower Shabelle and Jubba regions of Somalia. Operations of small scale Somali banana exports have already started.
