The objective of the Banana Sector Study for Somalia is: andldquoTo assess the banana industry in the context of irrigated crop production. Based on the assessment a strategy to improve banana production to an internationally competitive level will be developed. In case this is not sustainable, a strategy for diversification of irrigated crop production will be developed.andrdquoThe study is carried out in two phases. Phase I was implemented between February 13th and March 03rd, 2003 by H. Hack, and H. McKilligan. The result of Phase I is presented in the Preliminary Assessment and Strategic Options Report, providing the baseline for the decision on the focus of the support programme under the Special Framework of Assistance for Traditional ACP Suppliers of Banana in the Lower Shabelle region.

This CD-ROM contains a collection of primary sources of information, produced by FAO, on the role of water in agricultural development. It has been prepared by the Land and Water Development Division of FAO for the third World Water Forum (WWF-3). The documents and data collections on the CD-ROM contain background information on the questions and issues debated at the WWF-3. They enable a wider public to gain ready access to a more comprehensive range of FAO forecasts, assessments, technical studies and guidelines in the field of agricultural water development. They are complementary to the background document and issue papers presented and distributed widely by FAO at the WWF-3.
This paper is concerned with the interface between land tenure rights and water rights. Such rights relate to arguably the most important natural resources of the modern state. Land in the form of territory, is a preliquisite for a state's existence while fresh water is a preliquisite for life.
the Shabelle Valley and rdquo(CIDPM began in February 2002, and builds on the experiences and Lessons learnt from the past to promote an expanded approach to diversification. and rdquoStrengthening of Agricultural Activities in Shabelle Valley and rdquo(SMSV) was designed and initiated that focuses on the need to Rehabilitate existing irrigation structures in order to encourage more families to take up farming activities again.

The mission approach to this study was to establish whether or not there was a possibility of Somalia reviving its international banana export trade, without the former benefits of preferential trading terms with EU. If not a possibility, the ojective was to consider what could replace the banana industry to utilise the irrigation water and soil resources for th maximum benefit of the people living there.
