  • Where are groundnuts grown in Sudan?
  • Two varieties of groundnut are grown in Sudan; one is grown in the western part of the county accounting to 60-70% of the total production whilst the other variety grows in Gazeria and East Sudan. The ¡®western¡¯ groundnut that is typically grown in Darfur is known to be of better quality possessing higher levels of protein and oil.
  • Why are groundnuts important to Sudan?
  • Sudan is one of the world¡¯s biggest producers, although its prominence on the world market has declined over the past few years. Groundnut production is particularly relevant to Sudan¡¯s economy, as it generates much-needed foreign exchange. Domestically, groundnuts are used for consumption and processing.
  • Are groundnuts a major foreign-exchange earner in Sudan?
  • While farmers in Sudan are facing economic hardships, the country¡¯s groundnut production remains a significant foreign-exchange earner. Janine Ryan reports. Groundnuts are the most significant cash crop produced in Sudan.
  • How much does a metric ton of groundnut cost in Sudan?
  • According to the Sudanese Federation of Industrial Chambers the decrease in groundnut production has resulted in a food gap which consequently resulted in sudden hike in prices: One metric ton of groundnut currently costs 13,500 SDG (USD 2,265) whilst at the beginning of the year it used to cost 4,100 SDG (USD 687).
  • Which countries export groundnuts to Sudan?
  • Sudan¡¯s main markets for groundnut exports are Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, Egypt, Turkey and China. Low yields remain a challenge to Sudan¡¯s groundnut production. Poor adoption of technology among smallholder farmers, as well as a lack of government support, are key reasons why the country¡¯s yields per hectare remain relatively low.
  • How much groundnuts do Sudanese farmers produce?
  • In the 2011/12 season, Sudanese farmers produced 1,185 million tons of groundnuts. For the 2022/23 season, the US Department of Agriculture estimates that the country will produce 2,5 million tons of groundnuts, up 1,315 million tons from the 2011/12 season.
