This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urbanisation and long-lasting civil wars and conflict mean that the demographic pattern in Sudan is changing drastically. Nevertheless, 60%-80 % of Sudanese engage in subsistence agriculture. Agriculture remains a crucial sector in the economy as a major source of raw materials, food and foreign exchange. It employs the majority of the labour force, and serves as a potential vehicle for diversifying the economy. However, no rigorous studies have explained productivity in this sector in relation to food security. The situation has worsened because agriculture in particular has been neglected since the advent of oil production in the early 2000s. Moreover, Sudan's agricultural growth has been unbalanced, with the majority of irrigated agriculture concentrated in the Centre and a huge disparity in development indicators between the best- and worst-performing regions.Thus, studies show that the vast majority of Sudanese are reported to be food insecure, especially internally displaced persons and in conflict regions such as Darfur, Kordofan and other regions.

This book was released on 2023-06-07 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper reviews the performance of the Sudanese agricultural sector over the last three decades (1990 through 2021) and examines the drivers of that performance. Key findings show that the sector’s contribution to gross domestic product was greater during the 1990–1999 period than during the other two decades; agricultural productivity as well was higher in that decade than in the subsequent two decades. The sector has remained a major source of employment and livelihood. During the last decade reviewed (2010–2021), the sector regained its leading position as a generator of foreign currency. Public investment in agriculture and government spending allocated to the sector were lower than in other countries in the region. Political elites have generally lacked commitment to development plans in the sector. Political developments in Sudan have disrupted more recent efforts to revitalize the sector. Climate change, as manifested in rising temperature, declining rainfall, and drought, is a substantial determinant currently affecting the sector. The paper discusses some broad recommendations for improving the performance of the Sudanese agricultural sector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this volume is to focus attention on the economic and political development of the Sudan, to describe the progress and problems encountered in this development process, and to bring into a single book a comprehensive consideration of the situation in the Sudan. In terms of land area the Sudan is the largest nation in Africa, and one of the most sparsely populated countries in Africa. The Sudan enjoys a strategic location, commanding part of the Red Sea approach to the Suez Canal, and lying in close proximity to the rapidly growing Middle Eastern markets. Complementary aspects of food supply in the Sudan and the Middle East - the Sudan with its potential surplus - the Middle East with its needs - suggest a dynamic export growth pattern in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the huge decline in the contribution of agriculture to the Sudanese exports from 73% in 1998 to only 5% in 2007 as a result of the growing share of petroleum; agriculture remain an important sector in the economy contributing 35% to GDP in 2007 and employing about 70% of the Sudanese labour force. Traditional agriculture occupies 60% of the total cultivated land and employs 65% of the total agricultural population; nonetheless, it contributes only 16% to total agricultural GDP, attributed to low crop productivity beside the concurrent droughts. These factors have influenced food security situation in the region negatively and increased poverty rates. The objective of this paper is therefore to investigate the effects of improving the agricultural efficiency in the traditional rainfed sector of Sudan assuming additional capital allocation and improving the skills of labour. These assumptions are justified by the increasing investments flows in the Sudanese agriculture especially from Arab countries due to the recent world food crises. Further, the paper also simulates subsidy elimination as well as tax imposition on the output of the selected sectors, as a source of government income. The rational of that is to compensate the amount of government spending located to improve the efficiency. GTAP model and the new GTAP Africa data base are employed with 11 regions to see possible effects on some African and MENA countries. Sectors are aggregated to 14, separating cereals and oilseeds, which represent the most important crops in the traditional rainfed sector. Results show that, GDP, welfare, private income and consumption in Sudan will improve because of efficiency improvements. Moreover, output, trade balance, domestic demand, and exports of cereals and oilseeds would apparently improve while their imports and domestic import demand will decline. Importantly, welfare levels and domestic imports demand of these sectors would also increase in MENA.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aims to sensitize those concerned with Africa's development to the scope and limits of peasant livelihood securing activities. It combines results of research in the fields of peasant actions, food security, gender relations, and labour migration to a livelihood approach. Analyzing peasant life in western Sudan leads to the demand to keep options open. A review of the development programmes which affected the Sudanese rural population between independence and 1994 discloses that peasants' efforts have largely been obstructed.
