Fruits such as bananas, papayas, lemon and young fruit trees are everywhere in Bardera area farms.
Agribusiness program at Bardera Polytechnic is the first such program in southern Somalia's rich farming Juba Valley areas. Bardera District communities along side the Juba River numbering some 91 small towns and villages keep farms on either side of the Juba River. Communities away from the river banks keep animals such as camel, cattle and sheep (mixture with goat) and each family owns animal herds from twenty two few hundred sheep or camels or both.
Agricultural related programs such crop science, agri-marking, irrigation engineering and Veterinary Sciences are established during the second phase programs development at Bardera Polytechnic. Business, Languages and Computer departments got of ground during the second year of Bardrea Polyechnic.
In the absence of other universities and specialized schools in the three Juba Valley regions of Gedo, Middle Juba and Lower Juba, Bardera Polytechnic had to establish health programs-and in essence, Bardera Polytechnic became the first comprehensive post-secondary school in Juba Valley.
