The economy of Djibouti
The main pillar of Djibouti's economy is the transit of ships between the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. The port in the capital city is an important destination for world sea transportation. Ship repair looms and replenishment warehouses cause exchange of foreign exchange ships.
In Djibouti, there are meat and fish farms and canned factories as a branch of livestock farming. In a country where the production of chemicals can be mentioned in a small amount, vegetables and dates are grown in a small amount of land that can be irrigated. The nomadic folk engaged in livestock usually feed sheep, goats and camels. Although it is possible to produce plenty of salt from salt lakes, it is produced as much as the country needs.
In Djibouti, fishing and pearl fishing are also carried out on the coast. The country that does not export anything imports sugar, flour, cement, medicine and cotton weaving. It does this with foreign exchange income from transit transits.
