Somaliland has confirmed deposits of oil, gas, gypsum, lime, mica, quartz, lignite coal, lead, gold and sulphur. No mining is currently undertaken, all explorations are made by quarrying.
Agriculture is a small part of the country’s economy, however there is considerable potential for cereal and horticultural crops. Fishing is underdeveloped and the port of Berbera has the potential to develop into a major commercial centre.
