Agriculture
On 5–23 November 2003, the CSA conducted the first ever national agricultural census, of which the livestock census was an important component. For the Somali Region, the CSA generated estimated figures for the livestock population (cattle, sheep, goats, camels, and equids) and their distribution by commissioning an aerial survey. For the Korahe Zone, their results included:
| Animal | Estimated total | number per sqk. |
|---|---|---|
| cattle | 26,301 | 0.8 |
| sheep | 362,778 | 32.7 (including goats) |
| goats | 690,891 | 32.7 (including sheep) |
| camels | 115,498 | 4.7 |
| asses | 2,504 | 0.1 (all equids) |
| mules | 14 | 0.1 (all equids) |
| horses | 0 |

Famous quotes containing the word agriculture:
“In past years, the amount of money that has had to be been spent on armaments, great and small, instead of on productive industry and agriculture and the arts, has been a disgrace to all of us in every part of the world.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“But the nomads were the terror of all those whom the soil or the advantages of the market had induced to build towns. Agriculture therefore was a religious injunction, because of the perils of the state from nomadism.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
