Review note on Fanoole rice project rice milling facilities

(Extract from the SUMMARY )Br This note considers the consequences of using the rice milling facilities recently constructed at the Fanoole Rice Project (FRP) to mill rice produced on the Mogambo. Irrigation Project (MIP) as an alternative to providing this project with its own milling facilities. The following main conclusions are reached: br (i) The processing capacity at FRP is insufficient to handle the entire crop production from the Mogambo Project. br (II) The comparison of capital and running costs of the two alternatives given below clearly indicates the advantages of a separate mill for Mogambo. br

Farjano settlement project - Land evaluation

(Extract From Introduction)This land evaluation of the Farjano Settlement Project in the Lower Shabeelle Region of Somalia examined 16 000 hectares of alluvial soils. The evaluation was requested by UNHCR with the aim of locating land suitable for semimechanised rainfed (dryland) agriculture on which refugee settlers will become farmers, under the direction of a.farm management system that provides land preparation and planting services. The evaluation was also to examine the land suitability for settlement location, forestry and small-scale irrigation. A topographic survey was to be carried out to provide a contoured base map, and an additional topographicai survey was requested of the Farjano village irrigated farm (Sheikh Mohammed Hikam).

Soil survey

The soil survey in the North-West Region, which was begun in October 1980 and March 1981, covers an area of about 350,000 ha, in which the soil and land were mapped at a scale of 1/500,000.The survey was carried by SOGREAH consulting Engineers on behalf of the Democratic Republic of Somalia to study and prepare: -A soil classification Map -A land suitability map for integrated rainfed cultivation inorder to asses the area's suitability for agricultural development The aim of the study is to develop irrigated and rainfed agriculture in the North-west Region of the country The region of coverage extends between latitudes 9 and 11 30' North and longitudes 42 30' and 45 East and is characterised by a climate that is arid (coastal plain) to semiarid(plateau) and a rainfall regime which shows marked differences from one point to another (cf. report on hydrology and climatology), with mean annual precipitation ranging from 50 mm (coastal plain) t o 500 mm (plateau).
