Early Italian plantation farming in Somalia failed without scientific groundwork

Evidence

It was not, however, only labour problems which confronted the first concessionaries. Since there were no scientific studies of local conditions to guide them, the first Italian farmers had simply to follow a procedure of trial and error, which, with their lack of adequate capital or equipment, and in the absence of any serious Government support until the end of the Great War, in most cases proved disastrous. — I.M.
