In the early 1990s, agriculture and livestock raising were the main sources of livelihood in Sudan for about 61 percent of the working population.[1]Approximately one-third of the total area of Sudan, the largest country on the African continent is suitable for agricultural development and heavier rainfall in the south permits both agriculture and herding by nomadic tribes.
Agricultural products in total account for about 95 percent of the country's exports.[1] In 1998 there was an estimated 16.9 million hectares (41.8 million acres) of arable land and approximately 1.9 million hectares (4.7 million acres) set aside for irrigation, primarily in the north of the country along the banks of the Nile and other rivers. Cash crops (as of 1999) grown under irrigation in these areas include cottonand cottonseed, which is of primary importance to the economy with 172,000 tons and 131,000 tons produced annually respectively,[2] sesame (220,000 tons), sugarcane (5,950,000 tons), peanuts (980,000 tons), dates (176,000 tons), citrus fruits, yams(136,000 tons), tomatoes (240,000 tons), mangoes, coffee, and tobacco.[2] The main subsistence crops produced in Sudan are sorghum (3,045,000 tons), millet (1,499,000 tons), wheat (168,000 tons), cowpeas, beans, pulses, maize (65,000), and barley.[2]Cotton is the principal export crop and an integral part of the country's economy and Sudan is the world's third largest producer of sesame aftfer Indiaand China.[2]

Growth trends

The average annual growth of agricultural production declined in the 1980s to 0.8 percent for the period 1980–87, as compared with 2.9 percent for the period 1965–80. Similarly, the sector's total contribution to GDP declined over the years, as the other sectors of the economy expanded. Total sectoral activities, which contributed an estimated 40 percent of GDP in the early 1970s, had fluctuated during the 1980s and represented about 36 percent in 1988.[1] Crop cultivation was divided between a modern, market-oriented sector comprising mechanised, large-scale irrigated and rainfed farming (mainly in central Sudan) and small-scale farming following traditional practices that was carried on in the other parts of the country where rainfall or other water sources were sufficient for cultivation.[1]
Large investments continued to be made in the 1980s in mechanized, irrigated, and rainfed cultivation, with their combined areas accounting for roughly two-thirds of Sudan's cultivated land in the late 1980s.[1] The early emphasis on cotton growing on irrigated land had decreased. Although cotton remained the most important crop, peanuts, wheat, and sugarcane had become major crops, and considerable quantities of sesame also were grown. Rainfed mechanized farming continued to produce mostly sorghum, and short-fiber cotton was also grown. Production in both subsectors increased domestic supplies and export potentials. The increase appeared, however, to have been achieved mainly by expanding the cultivated area rather than by increasing productivity. To stimulate productivity, in 1981 the government offered various incentives to cultivators of irrigated land who were almost entirely government tenants.[1] Subsistence cultivators produced sorghum as their staple crop, although in the northerly, rainfed, cultivated areas millet was the principal staple. Subsistence farmers also grew peanuts and sesame.

Farming in the Nuba Mountains

By 1991 only partial surveys of Sudan's land resources had been made, and estimates of the areas included in different land use categories varied considerably. Figures for potentially arable land ranged from an estimate of 35.9 million hectares made in the mid-1960s to a figure of 84 million hectares published by the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources in 1974.[3] Estimates of the amount actually under cultivation varied in the late 1980s, ranging from 7.5 million hectares, including roughly 10 or 11 percent in fallow, to 12.6 million hectares.[3]
Substantial variations also existed in land classified as actually used or potentially usable for livestock grazing. The ministry and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have classified about 24 million hectares as pastureland.[3] The 1965 estimate of land use classified 101.4 million hectares as grazing land, and in 1975 an ILO-United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) interagency mission to Sudan estimated the total potential grazing land at between 120 million and 150 million hectares.[3]
Forestland estimates also differed greatly, from less than 60 million hectares by staff of the Forestry Administration to about 915 million hectares by the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the FAO. Dense stands of trees only covered between 20 million and 24 million hectares of the total forestland.[3] Differences in land classification may have been accounted for by use of some woodland areas for grazing and some traditional grazing lands for raising crops. Given the dearth of rainfall during the 1980s and early 1990s, the ecological damage from mechanized farming, and the steady march of desertification, discrepancies in these statistics had little meaning in 1991.
It was generally agreed, however, that in the late 1980s Sudan still had a substantial amount of land suitable for future cropping. The ILO-UNDP mission believed that two-thirds of the poten

The waters of the Nile in Sudan have been used for centuries for traditional irrigation, taking advantage of the annual Nile flood. Some users of this method still continued in the early 1990s, and the traditional shaduf (a device to raise water) and waterwheel were also used to lift water to fields in local irrigation projects but were rapidly being replaced by more efficient mechanized pump systems. Among the first efforts to employ irrigation for modern commercial cropping was the use of the floodwaters of the Qash River and the Baraka River (both of which originate in Ethiopia) in eastern Sudan to grow cotton on their deltas. This project was started in the late 1860s by the Egyptian governor and continued until interrupted by the turbulent period of the 1880s, leading to the reconquest of the country by the British in 1899. Cultivation was resumed in 1896 in the Baraka Deltain the Tawkar area, but in the Qash Delta it only resumed after World War I. Between 1924 and 1926, canals were built in the latter delta to control the flood; sandstorms made canals unfeasible in the Baraka. Between the 1940s and the 1970s, various projects were developed to irrigate the land. In 1982 both deltas yielded only one crop a year, watered by the flood. Adequate groundwater, however, offered the eventual possibility of using pump irrigation from local wells for additional cropping or for supplementing any flood shortages.



Irrigation of the Nile

The drought that affected Sudan in the 1980s was a natural disaster that had a crushing effect on the country's irrigation systems. In 1990–91, for instance, water was so scarce in the Tawkar area that for the first time in 100 years the crops failed.
As of 1990, the country's largest irrigation project had been developed on land between the Blue and White Nile rivers south of their confluence at Khartoum. This area is generally flat with a gentle slope to the north and west, permitting natural gravity irrigation, and its soils are fertile

An overview of agricultural crops in the western region of Sudan.
These crops include:
Peanuts..
White sesame ...
Red sesame ..
Hibiscus ...
Watermelon seeds ...
The thickness ...
These crops usually begin production at the beginning of October of each year, which are summer crops, and at the beginning of their harvest, prices are low in relation to the product owning the crop and also at the end of the fiscal year that all banks and companies close their accounts at the end of December of each year from what drains the markets from cash Therefore, prices will remain stable until the end of February, at which time prices will begin to rise, as companies and some banks will enter the market and buy crops, which makes competition high.
And when crops enter the stores of merchants and companies, the price increases gradually, especially in the months when the crop does not have a percentage due to his busy cultivation of new crops, so he sells everything he has to plant the new season.

About the Sudanese sesame crop ...
There are two types of Sudanese sesame .. 1 / white sesame...
There are also two types of white sweetness, as traders call it, and it is usually what is grown in clay land, and this type is more desirable for export ...
As for the second type of white, it is cultivated in sandy or mixed land between sand and clay, and this type is usually found in Kordofan regions in western Sudan ...
As for red sesame ... it is also cultivated in sandy and clay land, but the most cultivated areas are the state of North Kordofan, specifically the areas of Rahad or Rawaba and the suburbs of Bara and Umm Kreidem west of Bar and also extend west to the areas of Nahud and its surroundings ...
As for its uses, it is often used locally to extract oils, but with the development of technology, it has come to be used as well as white
Sesame cultivation begins in its two parts at the beginning of the month of July and continues until August, and after that, it starts cleaning, or what is called locally as a brood. It is often harvested at the beginning of October, and after the harvest, the purchases begin and its entry into the local markets.

An introductory summary of the Sudanese hibiscus ...
It is the same as the summer agricultural crops, but it is distinguished by its ability to grow in the winter.
It was of great importance to the Sudanese, it was grown to make juices and some municipal remedies, such as colds and colds, mixed with the loan, and it is a kind of forest product that we come to later ...
The importance of the hibiscus crop increased as a commercial product at the beginning of the eighties of the last century and it became exported abroad and became of economic importance due to its material return to individuals as farmers, companies that export it and even the state because of its returns in foreign currencies ...
Until this moment, it is considered a secondary crop for farmers due to its difficulty in harvesting and the lack of a god to help farmers in harvesting it, so it is always a secondary crop after sesame and beans.
Hibiscus produces almost all of Sudan or all of the rainforest, especially the regions of western Sudan, the Kordofan region, and Darfur.
This type of crop needs to be studied to make machines that help in its cultivation and harvest in order to increase its productivity ...

Gum arabic ... (gum alkhashab)
Sudan is considered the first country to produce this type of gum due to the abundance of Hashab tree forests in Sudan, but it is not the only source of this gum and that is due to smuggling this product to neighboring countries, which made some countries compete with Sudan in exporting these goods...
Taq Al-Hashab usually begins in October after the rains have stopped, production begins in early December, and there is another layer at the end of February, and production continues until the end of March when the rains come.
The regions of Kordofan, Darfur, and part of southeastern Sudan are among the most important areas of the Hashab tree, and the city of Al-Abyad in Kordofan is the largest and oldest market for gum arabic products in the world.
The city of Al-Abyad is considered one of the leading cities in marketing agricultural crops and gum arabic in the world. It has factories, warehouses and railways for processing products and exporting them directly outside Sudan without going through the center. It is considered the first city in the world to export all agricultural and forest products. We return to other types of gum and its places of production..
