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

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.
