Somalias Kamelmilchrevolution verbessert die Ernährung und die Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen

“MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Camels have long been the backbone of Somalia’s pastoralist culture, feeding families, transporting goods and standing tall in local folklore. But on the dusty outskirts of the capital, the camel now finds itself at the center of an agricultural revolution that could redefine Somali farming.

On a breezy Wednesday morning in mid-June, The Associated Press visited Beder Camel Farm — one of a new generation of camel dairies springing up around Mogadishu.

Dozens of camels sauntered around sandy paddocks while others nibbled on fresh fodder under the watchful eyes of herders. In a nearby shed, workers carefully milked the animals and collected the frothy yield in sanitized containers.

Demand for camel milk is growing, buoyed by a wave of local entrepreneurs who see untapped potential in a traditional resource.“

I’ve heard that camel milk is salty, but in a good way.

For purposes of comparison, I checked and found that Holstein milk cows and milk camels from Afghanistan and Pakistan all produce about 30L/8 gallons of milk a day and are comparable in size with most camels a little smaller (except bactrian, which are larger).

Isnt isis really close to capturing mogadishu?
