There are different types and condition of warehouses and
storage available throughout the Republic of
Sudan. The construction of Western
Sudan asphalt road up to El Fasher improved the storage
and logistic capacities in the area especially in El Geneina town
in Western Darfur.
A limited number of warehouses have raised-siding or are served directly by rail; the majority of warehouses have fixed working areas with no platforms that would assist in receiving and dispatching cargoes.
UN Agencies, INGOs and SRC (Sudanese Red Cross) have storage facilities while commercial entities have different structures, varying from small warehouses to large fabricated warehouses for specific cargoes.
Cold Chain facilities are limited.
Bulk silos are situated within the Mills of SAYGA, in Khartoum North and in the port area of Port Sudan.
