Welcome to the official website of the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation (MoAI), Puntland State of Somalia.

It is an honor to lead a Ministry that stands at the heart of our state’s growth and resilience. Agriculture remains the foundation of Puntland’s economy and a source of livelihood for the majority of our people. Our vision is to build a vibrant, sustainable, and inclusive agricultural sector that ensures food and nutrition security, supports job creation, and drives economic transformation across our communities.

The Ministry’s Strategic Plan (2025–2029) sets a clear roadmap toward these goals. It emphasizes sustainable farming, improved water and land management, value addition, market access, and institutional capacity building. We are committed to working closely with farmers, cooperatives, the private sector, development partners, and local communities to achieve this vision.

We recognize the challenges ahead—climate change, limited access to modern technologies, and insufficient infrastructure—but we also see immense potential. Through collaboration, innovation, and collective responsibility, we can unlock this potential and secure a prosperous future for our farmers and our nation.

I invite you to explore this website to learn more about our programs, initiatives, and opportunities for partnership. Together, let us build a resilient agricultural sector that sustains lives and drives progress for generations to come.

Hon. Omar Abdisamad Yusuf Dhuux
Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation
