Abstract

This research was carried out in 2023 in a total of 5 cities (Muqdisho, Afgooye, Baydoa, Jowhar and Belet-hawa) from different regions of Somalia, in order to reveal the problems faced by legume growers and to investigate ways to solve them, thus contributing to food security and agricultural sustainability. A total of 100 farmers, 20 randomly selected from each province, participated in 30 survey questions face to face. As a result of the research conducted in the mentioned regions, it was seen that there are problems in pest and disease control, weed control, fertilizer application and irrigation techniques and water use in legume agriculture. These problems are the main factors affecting the production of legumes. In order to prevent such problems and mistakes, farmers need to pay extra attention to get better quality and higher yields from their legume production, and sustainability-based studies must be increased to solve such problems, especially for food security.
