Hudur district, bokool region of somalia: impact of drought on sorghum production

Droughts in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are a major cause of economic losses, accounting for almost 70% of all losses. The majority of people in Somalia, a nation in Sub-Saharan Africa, rely on rain-fed crops due to the country's semi-arid environment and recent severe drought. The goal of the study was to find out how the drought in Somalia's Hudur district and Bokool area affected the production of sorghum. Data were gathered utilizing a structured questionnaire and interviews with 318 respondents as part of a cross-sectional study design. This study revealed a high frequency of drought in the Bokool region of Somalia's Hudur district, which had a significant impact on sorghum crop output. This indicates that the Hudur district's drought negatively impacts businesses that generate revenue there, particularly those whose primary industry is sorghum growing. Thus, it is important to plant drought-resistant agricultural types and crops that require less water.
