Why Somalia needs conveyor belts
Somalia is a trade-driven economy with ports at Mogadishu, Berbera, Bosaso and Kismayo that also serve Ethiopia.
Belts, idlers, buckets and drag chains wear out in abrasive service, and a stopped conveyor stops the plant, so critical spares are kept on site.

Ports and fisheries need pumps and marine fittings.
