A new camel dairy industry is starting near Mogadishu, Somalia. This is changing a very old tradition. At Beder Camel Farm, workers milk camels in clean rooms. Somalia has more than seven million camels, but only a little of the milk is sold in cities. Demand is growing because some business people see a chance to sell more camel milk. Farm manager Dr. Abdirisak Mire Hashi said the farm wants to keep Somali culture while using new farming methods. Better care for camels, good food, and modern milking have doubled milk production. Each camel now gives up to 10 liters a day.Beder Camel Farm has about 40% of Somalia’s camel milk sales and has nearly 200 workers. It also hires extra workers at busy times. The farm started Somalia’s first camel milk yogurt factory. The yogurt is sold in Mogadishu stores under the Beder name. Kenyan food engineer Nelson Njoki Githu said camel milk has less lactose and more vitamins and minerals than cow milk. Nutritionist Dr. Yahye Sholle said it is good for bones and digestion. The government is making plans to help the industry grow and create more jobs.
