About Djibouti

Djibouti is a small country in the Horn of Africa. The country is primarily French and Arabic speaking. Djibouti’s economy is largely concentrated in the service sector. Due to its Free Trade Policies and its strategic location as a Red sea transit point, many activities in the transportation industry are strong in the country. The country is considered as a transit point to over 10 African countries.

From the agriculture perspective, due to low rainfall activity only vegetables and fruits are the principal production crops, and most other food products are imported.
