1 SOMALIA Livestock Price Bulletin April 213 The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) monitors trends in staple food prices in countries vulnerable to food insecurity. For each FEWS NET country and region, the Price Bulletin provides a set of charts showing monthly prices in the current marketing year in selected urban centers and allowing users to compare current trends with both five-year average prices, indicative of seasonal trends, and prices in the previous year. *FEWS NET gratefully acknowledges the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit--Somalia (FSNAU) along with private sector and UN partners. The livestock sector is central to the economic and cultural life of the Somali people. The sector provides food and income to over 6 percent of the country s population. Burao and Galkayo are the largest livestock markets in the Horn of Africa especially for export sheep and goats from the Somali region of Ethiopia and parts of southern Somalia. The majority of the livestock exported through Berbera and Bosasso seaports transit or pass through these markets. Burao and Galkayo are two important reference markets for key pastoral livelihood zones of Hawd, Sool Plateau, Nugaal valley, and the Adun in the northeast and central regions. Beled Weyne connects the south and central regions of the country, and is the supply source of export cattle through Bosasso port. Dinsor, Bardera, and Afmadow are important cattle markets in the agro pastoral livelihood zones in southern Somalia. Significant number of the cattle trekked to Garissa, Kenya transit these markets. Afmadow is largest cattle market in southern Somalia. It is the reference market for the largest cattle belt in the Juba valley. It is the main source of the cross border cattle trade to the Garissa, Mombasa, and Nairobi markets in Kenya. 2,, Local Quality Goat: Nominal retail prices in Kismayo 2,, Local Quality Goat: Nominal retail prices in Hudur 1,5, 1,5, 1,, 1,, 5, 5, 5-yr average 27/8-211/12 Previous year 211/12 Current year 212/13 5-yr average 27/8-211/12 Previous year 211/12 Current year 212/13 2,, Local Quality Goat: Nominal retail prices in Dhusamareb 2,, Local Quality Goat: Nominal retail prices in Bossaso 1,5, 1,5, 1,, 1,, 5, 5, 5-yr average 27/8-211/12 Previous year 211/12 Current year 212/13 5-yr average 27/8-211/12 Previous year 211/12 Current year 212/13 *FEWS NET gratefully acknowledges FSNAU, and other network and private sector partners for assistance in providing price data.
