What is in the plastic container at the fruit stall is known as : Mabuyu its imported from Mombasa Kenya .

It is very a nutritious Super Fruit that delivers a burst of tantalising taste. It's sad that Somalia which used to export fruits to Europe and the Middle East is now importing some of its fruits from South Africa and Egypt. You should visit Afghoye Town which is 30 km from Mogadishu , there are banana and mango plantations. Get security briefings and updates before you travel.
