DDIP : A Strategic Hub for Livestock Trade in East Africa

 

This morning, the Chairman received Mr. Yahya Al Sayadi, an Omani CEO, at RSW. He was accompanied by Mr. Ibrahim Rashid Alalawi, Head of Business Development at Sohar Islamic Bank.

During this visit, the Omani CEO presented a project proposal to establish a quarantine zone for livestock, including a monthly 42.000 livestock heads: 30.000 goats and sheeps, 9000 cattle, and 3000 camels, at Djibouti Damerjoq.

The annual livestock heads export are more than 500.000 destinated to the Omani market.

The DDIP port was selected as the ideal location for this initiative based on several key criteria:

- Its proximity to the livestock market in East Africa.

- Optimal accessibility due to its location near major trade routes, facilitating livestock transport and the delivery of products to target markets.

- Its ability to meet stringent biosecurity standards. This project underscores the strategic importance of DDIP and its capacity to support innovative and sustainable livestock solutions in the region.
