Officials said the law aims to regulate and promote beekeeping and honey production, a sector viewed as important for rural livelihoods, food security and export growth.
The approval brings to eight the number of laws endorsed by the Cabinet under the current administration, as authorities push to strengthen agriculture, economic diversification and institutional governance.
Somaliland, which restored its statehood in 1991, has in recent months accelerated legislative reforms aimed at strengthening economic resilience, modernising public institutions and supporting sustainable development under the current administration.
