3 Sudan Logistics Services

Agriculture plays a significant role in the economy of Sudan, employing approximately 80% of the labour force and contributing almost a quarter of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Principal cash crops are cotton, sesame, edible oils, sugar and groundnuts, while the most important food crops are, sorghum, millet, wheat, and beans. Agricultural products in total account for about 95% of the country's exports. The majority of the population live in rural areas and have access to markets and small family owned stores that have a reasonable selection of products. Urban area consumers have access to a wide range to shops including grocery supermarkets and bigger markets. However a significant share of domestic demand is fulfilled by food aid, which accounts on average for 20% of total imports, and is generally channelled through sorghum deliveries, while 80% of wheat is imported. The manufacturing sector is relatively well established, the majority of manufacturing occurs in Khartoum and Red Sea state.

The economy is currently affected by a depreciation of the Sudanese currency. This could continue to influence the prices at the local markets in Sudan, the procurement of commodities and the cash value in regards to the support provided during cash and voucher transfer implementation.

Regarding power generation, electricity in Sudan is controlled by the Government. The national grid has improved in the last years and has expanded to more remote locations, though the current production does not satisfy local needs. The main source of power is still taken from generators.

3.1 Sudan Fuel

The Ministry of Energy and Mining regulates the industry. The Ministry of Finance and Planning is also involved in the energy sector. Its representatives are members of the Petroleum Affairs Board that is responsible for final approval of petroleum contracts. However, the Exploration and Production Authority, a state owned entity, exercises day-to-day control of the oil industry.

Fuel prices are managed and published by the Ministry of Finance and Planning in consultation with the Ministry of Energy and Mining, and the Cabinet.

Information may also be found at:http://www.mytravelcost.com/petrol-prices/ which is updated monthly.

Fuel Pricing

The price of fuel fluctuates based on prevailing exchanges rates, locations and prevailing conditions.

Fuel Prices as of August 2016 (local currency and US$)
Petrol (per litre)	SDG 8.50 USD 1.34 Litre
Diesel (per litre)	SDG 6.50 USD 1,03 Litre
Paraffin (per litre)	SDG - USD

Fuel Supply

The supply of fuel (Petrol, diesel and Jet A1) is consistent, and shortages are usually for a short duration. Darfur and the rest of Sudan experience delivery delays during the rainy seasons (May – October) and in some instances due to security, and long waiting time due to escorts. Fuel is delivered in 210-litre drums.

Seasonal Variations 

Seasonal variation may affect the delivery and supplier of fuel. To circumvent any shortage of diesel, petrol, aviation fuel, it is important to have deliveries planned in advance. Jet A1 fuel shortages may cause UNHAS to reduce payload and carry extra fuel, which adversely impacts on the movement of freight and people.

Seasonal Variations

Is there a rationing system?	NO
Is fuel to lower income/vulnerable groups subsidized?	NO
Can the local industry expand fuel supply to meet humanitarian needs?	YES

3.2 Sudan Transporters

The commercial transporters, 106 registered transporting companies in Sudan (as identified by National Chamber of the Heavy Trucks), comprise of the large rig and trailers loading up to 70 tons on the main route from Port Sudan through to El Obeid and Khartoum. Rigs with a gross vehicle mass of 70 Tons, are used for the distribution from the primary hubs through to secondary ones, and in some instances, should the roads and access be in good conditions, through to tertiary destinations.

Smaller road trucks with a from 5 tons through to 25 tons are in the norm used for distribution to deep field locations; type and size of road truck to be used is also decided on the basis of the road conditions and access conditions during the rainy season (May - October).

Transport companies and their trucks are registered in El Obeid, Khartoum, Port Sudan and Darfur. The availability of trucks and their actual location is also decided on the basis of business trends and traffic flows.

To be noted that the main transport companies tend to subcontract/tender to smaller companies, especially in deeper field areas.

There are contracted transport organizations with smaller fleets in CETA, Darfur states, El Obeid and Port Sudan, with a combined monthly carrying capacity of 288,352 metric tons.

3.3 Sudan Manual Labour

Manual labour is readily available in country. Trade Unions are present throughout Sudan, and usually in each big town there are different sub-sectors divided by geographical areas, responding to the union of the town. There are no particular constraints related to manual labour in Sudan. Here below an average cost of manual labour in Sudan.

In Port Sudan, labour is engaged through the Labour unions at the port. Norms and rules are agreed in advance for the handling of specific commodities, and rates are linked to cargo characteristics. In order to expedite daily payments, per diem wages are paid to the labour through the Unions; the Union charges an additional 20% facilitation fee, to ensure that there are no delays in paying daily wages at the end of a shift.

Labour Rate(s) Overview (as of September 2016)
	Cost *(Local Currency &* *USD - $*)
Daily General Worker (Unskilled casual labour)	25 SDG/mt 3.7 $/mt
Daily General Worker (Semi-skilled labour)	53 SDG/mt 7.9 $/mt
Skilled Worker	70 SDG/mt 10.4$/mt

3.4 Sudan Telecommunications

Telecommunication Regulation
Existing Humanitarian Telecoms Systems
Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
Mobile Network Operators (MNOs)

The telecommunication and associated services are adequate within Sudan. The use of mobile telephones far exceeds the use of land lines.

The liberalisation and privatisation of the telecommunication sector, the policies, the regulations and plans adopted by the Government of the Sudan in the early 1990s have created a capital–attracting, pro-competitive policy environment that have fostered the build–up of a modern, fully–digital infrastructure in the country and supported a climate suited to enhance Information Technology and Communication (ITC) development nationwide. The developments in the Sudanese Telecommunication sector along with the diversification and use of the ITC services including those of the Internet and its applications have made Sudan’s ICT among the most developed in Africa and the Middle East.

Internet Service Providers (ISPs)

The Internet in Sudan started in 1998 as a joint venture between Sudan Telecommunications Company (SUDATEL) and the Sudan Corporation of Broadcasting and Television as a dial-up service. A private company was licensed to provide a broadband wireless service beside the existing one. As from 1998 internet service was introduced by 2.5G technology through the licensed mobile service operators. In 2007 the internet service began to be provided by the 3G technologies (CDMA-EVxDO, UMTS) which facilitated a vast and dense ubiquity all over the country. That was sustained by the higher capacities made available from the submarine optic cables connected to global systems (FLAG).

The provision of the internet service by the licensed public service operators with high speed and assorted packages led the working ISPs to shrink considerably, in addition to the decline of the telephone fixed service and the increase of the mobile. This matter is being studied intensively by the NTC to remedy the situation particularly in the Telecom Act Update.

Primary Commodities

Overview

Agriculture plays a significant role in the economy of Sudan, employing approximately 80% of the labour force and contributing for almost a quarter in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Principal cash crops are cotton, sesame, edible oils, sugar and groundnuts, while the most important food crops are, sorghum, millet, wheat, and beans. Agricultural products in total account for about 95 percent of the country's exports.

Approximately 66% of the population of Sudan live in rural areas (World Bank, 2014), with mostly access to individually and family owned stores that have a reasonable selection of products due to greater and more improved transport links between the capital Khartoum and nationwide state capitals. Urban area consumers have access to a wide range to shops including grocery supermarkets, outdoor wet markets

A significant share of domestic demand is fulfilled by food aid, which accounts on average for 20% of total imports, and is generally channelled through sorghum deliveries, while 80% of wheat is imported.

The majority of manufacturing occurs in Khartoum and the central region and also the Red Sea areas of Sudan with some more informal processing and manufacturing existing in the other state around the country. The west of Sudan sees light amounts of cross-border trading with Chad which has a positive effect of commodity prices

Additional information can be located from sources which are regularly maintained and reflect current facts and figures. For more specific and detailed overviews of food availability and market conditions, please consult the following sources:

Retail Sector

Sudan has a relatively well established retail and wholesale sector with large processing companies primarily based in Khartoum.

Sudan has only one supermarket chain operating in the country, Sena of which there are 5 branches all located in the Khartoum area.

Outdoor markets are also readily used in rural areas but only on market days – in urban areas and cities, outdoor and wet markets are operational daily and heavily used.

Retail shops tend to come in various categories including supermarkets, groceries and wholesalers shops of various sizes that sell a range of food and household products mainly in urban areas.

In peri-urban and rural areas retail shops tend to fall into the various categories of:

Big-size wholesalers: Specialized in one/two commodities; using wholesale units (i.e. sacks and jerry cans); selling the whole unit and not part of it;
Medium-size wholesalers: Specialized in many commodities; using wholesale units (i.e. sacks and jerry cans); trading the whole unit and not part of it;
Wholesaler-retailers: Selling both to traders and ultimate customers; specialized in many commodities; using both wholesale and retail units (i.e. malwa); selling in small quantities;
Retailers: specialized in many commodities; using retail units (i.e. malwa); selling in small quantities.

The largest sorghum trade market (in terms of quantities traded) is Gedaref, in the heart of the surplus-producing Gedaref State. The market of Omdurman (Khartoum) is an important terminal and transit market. El Obeid, in North Kordofan State, plays a central role in sorghum trade between the surplus and wholesale markets of eastern Sudan and deficit areas of central and western Sudan. El Fasher, the largest market in North Darfur State, receives sorghum supplies from El Obeid and Um Durman, as well as neighbouring areas such as Saraf Omra. Other important wholesale sorghum markets include Wad Medani (Al Gezira State), Rabak and Kosti, Sennar (Sennar State), and Nyala (South Darfur State).

There are no marketing institutions dealing with fruits and vegetables. Farmers and producers deal as individuals directly with local traders and exporters. Other food commodities are transported directly from Khartoum.

Strategic Reserve Corporation

Established in 1992, the Strategic Reserve Corporation, previously operating under the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning and currently under the Agricultural Bank of Sudan, plays a key role in stabilising cereal prices by adjusting the supply of sorghum, rice, wheat and millet available to the market during periods of deficit production years.

Purchase potential from Agriculture Bank of Sudan (ABS)

The ABS regulates the sorghum market on the national level through the national strategic reserve. It purchases and markets the sorghum, and promotes the surplus for export. Moreover, it provides facilities for promotion and development of the agricultural sector through the provision of equipment, services and finance.

Under the Bank, there is various storage types for food such as underground pits, warehouses in brick/flospan structure and silos. Among different types of storage, silos present the best storage conditions and sorghum quality assurance through effective fumigation, sieving and bagging service.

Food in national strategic reserve can be stored for more than 10 years, and the quantity of new crop reserved is determined by national reserve strategy. There is purchase potential from the reserve but the process is still being looked into.

Accommodation

Accommodation in Khartoum is readily available, but not all accommodations offer a good standard of hygiene. International staff tend to use the City Flats Hotel in Amarat, Rotana, and Corinthia Hotel. In field offices outside Khartoum (apart from Port Sudan), humanitarian workers tend to use UN or NGOs guesthouses, which are also available. UNAMID Super camps are also used for accommodation. WFP has recently established an online internal system where it is possible to check availability and book WFP guesthouses throughout Sudan. The link is https://accommodation.wfp.org/ - the guesthouses and booking system are available to other organisations though space can be an issue.

Financial Services

Nearly 90% of banking systems are owned by CBOs and government-owned institutions. As of May 2014, Sudan had 35 banks of which 25 are jointly CBO/government and privately owned, and are foreign-owned.

As additional 4 government-owned banks are specialised financial institutions (SFIs) jointly owned by CBOs and the Ministry of Finance which are mandated to fill specific access-to-finance gaps.

There are 569 bank branches registered with the Central Bank of Sudan and 3.90 ATMs per 100,000 adults (ref). Banks and ATMs are concentrated primarily in and around the major cities with almost 30% of all bank branches in the Khartoum area. Despite recent efforts by the government to increase financial intermediation including simplifying the procedures for opening banking accounts, encouraging the opening of new bank branches and expansion of ATM networks, Sudan continues to be underbanked. 7% of adults have a bank account compared to an average of 24% in sub-Saharan African countries.

The largest institutions in terms of access branch coverage are the government-owned Agricultural Bank of Sudan, Bank of Khartoum, Omdurman National Bank, Faisal Islamic Bank and the Farmers’ Commercial Bank. These banks offer limited range of services including mobile banking, money transfer, microfinance services, ATMs and internet banking.

Microfinance Sector

The microfinance sector has expanded in recent years with significant support from the government; in 2009, the CBOS required all commercial banks to establish microfinance offices allocating 12% of total loans to microfinance lending operations. Some commercial banks have been providing microfinance services for over 20 years. These include the Agricultural Bank of Sudan and the Savings and Social Development Bank (which has served as an intermediary for INGOs and UN agencies). Microfinance does remain a small share of the overall banking sector and most banks continue to focus primarily on commercial lending.

Western Union has 20 outlets in Khartoum area.

Other Comments or Key Information	Mobile payments solution remains to be a nationwide initiative of which Bank of Khartoum, being the largest and most experienced bank in Sudan, is taking leading role in its implementation. The mobile money solution was previously introduced by Bank of Khartoum, but it is now put on hold, so that the Central Bank of Sudan reviews the model needed to be adopted for Sudan and also set the regulatory framework associated. Currently, it is the last stage of finalisations. Until that is finalised, Bank of Khartoum has developed a mobile banking agency mode under the name of "Wakeel" which rests on the same pillars as mobile money and performs the same functions and provides the same features to individuals with bank account and with no bank accounts in remote areas. Internet banking.

Electricity and Power

Power generation in Sudan is controlled by the government and electricity is not imported. The main source of power production is generators, as the country currently does not have enough power production to satisfy local needs (current consumption amounts to 2.5 MW, while the current production is 1.8 MW). However, the national grid is improving and expanding into remote locations. Outages are common from May to August, but may happen all year round; usually outages may last 3- 4 hours. The voltage is 400/250 V.

Taxi Companies

Taxi services are not readily available in Sudan. Taxi companies are present in Khartoum and are a relatively safe means of transportation. However, it is recommended to book them in advance through a reliable company. Taking taxis after midnight is usually very difficult.

Local transportation in Khartoum (like bus, rickshaws/tuctuc and Amjad) is not recommended security-wise, mainly due to the poor maintenance of the vehicles.

Outside of Khartoum, humanitarian workers tend to use office vehicles or private cars in their daily movements.

Vehicle Rental

Vehicle rental facilities are readily available and it is possible to rent different kind of vehicles (trucks, light vehicles, forklifts, etc…) throughout Sudan. An organization can reasonably expect to meet initial needs through renting.
