2 Sudan Logistics Infrastructure
National logistics infrastructure is under the responsibility of the Sudan Ministry of Transport, Roads and Bridges.
Traditionally Sudan has operated through one entry point, the Port of Sudan. However, corridors are also potentially possible through Ethiopia for both regional procurements and/or consignments coming through Djibouti port.
Common constraints are security concerns and the impassability of roads during the rainy season (from May to October). In most deep field locations, no commercial transporters are available and therefore WFP operates its own fleet of trucks, which is strategically placed in the 3 Darfur areas, El Obeid and Khartoum to ensure a quicker mobilisation of resources and adjustments to operational needs. The fleet can support other organisations on a case by case basis and depending on availability.
2.1 Sudan Port of Port Sudan
Port Overview
(Source: General Admin for Planning & Research / Statistics and Information centre)
Port Sudan is the capital of the Red Sea State and the Republic of Sudan’s main sea port. It is situated on latitude (19 ` 39) north and longitude (73 ` 13) east on the middle of the Red Sea coast and was established in 1910. It occupies a strategic location in the centre of the west coast of the Red Sea about 1200 km northeast Khartoum and about 260 km southwest Jeddah (in Saudi Arabia Kingdom). Port Sudan is mainly handling general cargo, livestock, cement, containers, oil products, grains, pesticides and cars.
The Sea Ports Corporation (SPC) is an independent state corporation of Sudan that governs, constructs, and maintains the ports, harbours and lighthouses of Sudan. The company was founded in 1974 by the government of Sudan to be the national port operator and port authority. The Ports of Sudan fall under the Ministry of Transport, Roads and Bridges.

Port Handling Equipment
A private company, the Sea Ports Corporation (SPC), manages the port equipment. The SPC is an independent state corporation of Sudan that governs & maintains the ports and the harbours. The Port handling equipment is generally in good condition, but the fixed general cargo “Luffing” cranes with a capacity between 5 and 15 metric tons are in poor condition.
It is a prerequisite by the Port Sudan authorities that Vessels to load and/or discharge bulk – general cargoes over the quay must be ‘geared’.

Customs Guidance
To clear import cargo for consumption within Sudan, nominated clearing agents are also tasked to clear cargo in transit consigned to Chad and neighbouring countries (Ethiopia, ROSS) subject to the established customs rules & regulations and border formalities.
For information on customs, please see the following link: 1.3 Sudan Customs Information
Terminal Information
Multipurpose Terminal
The Multi-purpose terminal at the North Quay is able to handle all types of cargo subject to the vessels general configuration and draft. The discharge and/or delivery to/from Ship’s side requires pre-planning to avoid delays.
The shore luffing cranes (capacity 5 to 15 tons) are however in poor mechanical repair hence the Port Authorities require that vessels arriving at Port Sudan be suitably geared with cranes and/or derricks. Shore winch men are available.
Oil Handling Terminal - the Elkhair (Dama Dama) oil terminal can receive tankers up to 50,000 DWT with a draft of 14.5 metres. In 2017, 77 vessels used the berth, and 2,222,591 metric tons of petroleum products were imported. There were no petroleum products exported in 2017. Last petroleum exports were done in 2014.
Grain and Bulk Handling
There are five vertical silo and one horizontal silo operators within the port as follows;
- 50,000 MT capacity situated at Berth 15 - owned/operated by the Agricultural Bank of Sudan. Facility is mainly used for Sorghum exports.
- 60,000 MT silo capacity at Green Port area operated by WITA. WITA also has another 70,000 mt silo capacity 3km outside of port.
- 90,000 MT silo capacity at the Green Port area operated by SEEN Flour Mills.
- 76,000 MT silo capacity at the Green Port area owned by ALKHALEEJ but operated by SEEN.
- 140,000 MT silo capacity at the Green Port area owned/operated by DAL Foods/Sayga Flour Mills.
- 50,000 MT horizontal silo capacity at the North Quay operated by SEAGRAINS.
In total, the silo capacity at PORT SUDAN is 536,000 MT.
The method of discharge to these silo facilities is from ship’s holds with grabs or Pneumatic Buhler evacuators onto hoppers, into bulk trucks which transport and dump the bulk to the respective facility repeatedly. The daily discharge rate can get to 12,000 metric tons pwwd using Ship’s gear with four gangs.
Most of the silo operators subsequently deliver the cargo bulk to up country mills except Sayga that has a bagging option. The daily bagging rate basis 16 working hours is around 2000 metric tons.
The silo facilities have a rail connection and there is ongoing works to extend the rail to the quayside of the Green port berths.
Bagging – Grain Handling
There are two main international bagging operators operating from Port Sudan (PORTSERVE & IMGS) through local partners. These provide the conventional discharge/bagging services alongside ship using bagging plants each having two bagging lines, with sewing machines, scales and escalators to move the bags to landside stowage and/or transport. The mobile bagging machines are also hired out to the vertical or horizontal silo operators whenever they would require to deliver cargo bagged.
Discharge is mainly using ship gear, ship/own grabs and port labour. Four gangs are usually allocated to a vessel and the daily discharge is around 2500 to 3000 MT/wwd. Usually crane operators, supervisors, labour on the bagging plant, and a mechanical/electrical engineer are on standby at the vessel.
Conventional Cargo
The general cargo terminals are situated at the North Port and Green Port. These facilities are able to handle general cargo, unitised cargo, bagged, bulk, vehicles, project and heavy lift/out of gauge traffic. Cargo is discharged from ship’s holds using slings and nets by ship/shore cranes and onto the quayside from where the port labor loads it to trucks/wagons for delivery. There are also several warehouses alongside the berths that have been leased out.
Containerised Cargo (THC)
The South Port consists of six berths. Berths 13 to 18 are used for containerised cargos while berth 15 is a bulk silo loading/discharge facility.
Containers are unloaded from ships using STS gantry cranes onto terminal tractors which transfer them for stacking within the terminal. Delivery from the terminal is by RTG onto trucks that transfer containers from terminal to the customs inspection area. Lift off/on at the customs inspection area is Reach Stackers. After inspection the containers are either loaded on to trucks full or de-stuffed and shifted to the storage area doe empties.

Stevedoring
Labour working inside the ship and for stacking cargo on trucks is engaged and paid for by the ship agent, clearing agent or transporter. Port labour however handle cargo at the quayside. The wages paid to shore side labour is negotiated with the Unions and tariffs are calculated based on cargo configuration.
Hinterland Information
Commodities are moved out of the port by rail or road. Delivery is mostly through primary transporters, local shunting and direct deliveries to the main hubs. Direct deliveries have been performed to Khartoum, El Obeid, Fasher, Nyala and Kosti. Direct deliveries from Port Sudan Warehouse to minor hubs like Damazine, Kasalla etc are also possible.
Port Security
The Port is ISPS compliant. All entry points are secured, manned by Port Police and Customs Officers and access is subject to permits (usually given within one day by the Port Sudan Authorities after presentation of original identification documents and letter of request).

- The CAA of the Republic of Sudan confirms that the aircraft type, design and is in a condition for safe operation within Sudan.
Regular intermediary inspections are made by CAA, this includes regular maintenance and services and the 6 monthly airworthy inspections.
The flight crews are interviewed, and certifications are checked by CAA, before an aircraft is authorised to operate within the Republic of Sudan.
Flight crew requires visas to enter and operate in Sudan, process that usually takes around two weeks.
UNHAS
The United Nations Humanitarian Air Services (UNHAS) is a humanitarian air service, established and managed by WFP.
UNHAS in Sudan relies on a fleet of six aircrafts (2 contracted and 1 ad hoc fixed wing aircraft and 3 helicopters) based in Khartoum, El Obeid, El Fasher and Geneina. UNHAS provides services to over 100 user entities comprising NGOs, UN agencies, donors, the diplomatic community and humanitarian implementing partners. On average, UNHAS transports 3,350 passengers and 15 MTs of cargo per month to over 40 locations.The majority of UNHAS flights serves Darfur and connections from Khartoum and the three Darfur state capitals. To support the refugee and IDP activities in Central and Eastern States of Sudan, UNHAS updated its weekly schedule in December 2018 to accommodate users flying to South and West Kordofan and Blue Nile States. UNHAS also supports light cargo air services as well as timely medical and security evacuations on behalf of the whole humanitarian community in Sudan.

El Geneina new airport is a public airport that is operated by the government and serves El Geneina, the capital of Western Darfur State. It highly improved the logistic capacity in the state.
The new airport is accessible through asphalt road and accessible all year round after the construction of two bridges early 2018 that enables uninterrupted movement during rainy seasons. Constraint to be considered is the security on the extended road. The Airport is used by UNAMID, UNHAS and other commercial operators. UNAMID have a separate passenger terminal while WFP has an office within the limited terminal buildings and support structure. The Airport Authority operates the airport from 0800 hours to 1500 hours.

Travel time has been calculated on the average speed of 50 km per hour (considering status of roads) plus 25% to cover rest periods and usual breaks in the route.
The worst case scenarios will need to factor in prolonged delays due to road conditions, the rainy season (May to October), delays of convoys and escorts, and potential mechanical failures.

Road Security
The security requirements and scenarios vary depending on the routes. All road transportation requires security clearance from HAC, NISS and MCS, with for UN agencies oversight from UNDSS and from the Security units of each UN Agency. On specific routes, road haulers are required to move under convoy with security from UNAMID and/or Sudanese Police or Army. Convoys and the related escorts must be arranged well in advance with UNAMID and/or the relevant authority. All clearances must be arranged through HAC, NISS and MCS.
In addition the prevailing seasonal weather conditions must also be taken into consideration, wash ways, flooded rivers that cause roads to be impassable, the presence of animals on the road (camels, livestock) and the bad conditions of several roads (potholes etc.). The distances are vast, there is negligible roadside support in case of accidents or breakdowns, and thus it is important to adhere to security procedures and standards.
Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits
The National Highway Authority ensures that road vehicles are laden based on axle distribution. Weighbridges are positioned in strategic locations to enforce safety and legislation on ‘safe working loads/limits’.
The Sudanese Chamber of Transport Union advises that the maximum axle load limitations for road trucks on Sudan roads are:
Axle load limits |
Sudan |
Chad |
Truck with 2 axles |
16 Metric tons |
21 Metric Tons |
Truck with 3 axles |
24 Metric Tons |
27 Metric tons |
Truck with 4 axles |

- |
Truck and drawbar trailer with 5 axles |
- |
- |
Truck and drawbar trailer with 6 axles |
- |
- |
Truck and drawbar trailer with 7 axles |
- |
- |
New regulation in 2017 stipulated that the maximum load limit is 54 mt.
Loading dimensions should not exceed 3 metres in height and 2.5 metres in width; any loading exceeding these parameters may be considered as “abnormal loading” and may require escorts to caution other road users on dangerous ‘out of gauge‘ traffic.
CHAD: The axle weight maximum for one axle is 13 Metric Tons. The configuration of the loads should not exceed 2.5 metres (width) and 4 metres (height).
SUDAN: The axle weight maximum for one axle is 10 Metric Tons.

From El Obeid to El Fasher
El Obeid is the main intermediate hub for food aid going to Western Sudan (Darfur); it represents one of the primary hubs in Sudan for both commercial and WFP operations, due to its central geographical location, that links the port in the East to the Western and Southern areas of the country. Therefore, most of transport companies in Sudan have a representative/branch office in El Obeid to facilitate their transport business to West and South Sudan.
The main road from El Obeid to El Fasher is a paved/asphalt highway and is accessible throughout the year to all types of traffic. This road is safe and there is no need for escorts for both WFP fleet and commercial trucks. The journey route is El Obeid – En Nuhud – Dam Jamad – Um Kadada – Al Koma – El Fasher. Starting point of the escort is in Darfur (El Fasher) – Zalingei – Morni – El Geneina.

From El Obeid to Nyala:
The main road from El Obeid to Nyala is paved/asphalt up to El Nuhud town (206 Km) while the rest (474 Km) is dirt. The dirt part of the road is usually blocked during rainy season in some parts. The journey route is El Obeid – Babanosa – Ed Daein – Nyala (starting point of the escort as the next point will be in Darfur) – Zalingei – Morni – El Geneina. Some routes can be accessed during the dry season only, while there are alternative roads that are used during the rainy season. The rainy season affects transport rates as transporters have to depend on longer routes so as to reach the inaccessible destinations, resulting in an increase of transportation rates by nearly 20% to 25% compared to the dry season rates.

Escorting
Escorting trucks is very important to ensure the safe delivery of commodities and cargo. Insecurity can impact dispatches to conflict areas resulting in delays in delivery, high transport rates, and high level of losses.
Government of Sudan police usually organises and conducts military escort to protect fuel tankers passing through Darfur states. Also trucks that carry dry cargo are included in this type of escorting which can involve up to 500 vehicles.
Escorts movement usually takes place three times per month (the gap between each escort and next one is 10 days), but sometimes movements are affected by the readiness and actual security situation in the respective area. The allowed average speed for the escorted trucks is 50 to 70 Km/hour during the daylight and no trucks movement is allowed during night hours.

2.3.1 Sudan Land Border Crossings
The significant international corridor for transit traffic is through the gateway Port of Port Sudan, a multi-faceted port that is able to receive and dispatch traffic by road, rail, linking to barges and combinations thereof:
- Port Sudan to Chad.
- Port Sudan to Ethiopia
- Port Sudan to the Republic of South Sudan, through combinations of Rail, Road and River barges.
There are no ‘cost’ or ‘time’ effective corridors into the Republic of Sudan, from the neighbouring countries.
There are road corridors into South Sudan from Sudan. These routes are currently used by WFP to deliver humanitarian relief items to South Sudan, based on an agreement signed between the two respective governments in June 2014 authorising the movement of humanitarian assistance from Sudan to conflict affected communities in South Sudan. The MoU designates WFP as the sole agency responsible for the transportation of humanitarian cargo from Sudan to South Sudan.

The railway main route extends from Port Sudan via Atbara to Khartoum with an alternate link between Haya and Sennar via Kassala. There are branch lines north to Karima and Wadi Halfa. Also from Khartoum the line runs southwest to El Obeid via Sennar and Kosti with extensions to Nayala in Southern Darfur and Wau in Western Bahr Al Gazal (South Sudan).
The latest extensions include new lines for transportation of crude oil constructed between El Mujlad and Abu Gabra (52 Km), between the refinery in Abu Khrais and El Obeid station (10 Km), and Marawi Dam branch line from El Ban station.
The Sudanese Railway Corporation owns 48 train-heads and 2746 wagons of various capacities and shapes (flat, silos and cargo). Between the period 2013 – 2016, the corporation imported 29 train-heads and 652 wagons of various capacities. The renovation process is currently on going for the railway line between Khartoum and Port Sudan, 882 Km renovated so far, remaining 150 Km and the official opening is expected to take place by end 2016. When the renovation project completes, the journey between PZU and Nyala will take only 7 days. All the trains / stations are connected with GPS system. The railway line between Port Sudan and Kosti is operating and ready to use. The only railway route linked with South Sudan is via Babanousa (West Kordofan State) to Wau (South Sudan). The rail map includes the links through to the Republic of South Sudan although it is presently inoperative.
The Sudan Railways falls under the Ministry of Transport. For additional information, please see the following links:

2.6 Sudan Storage Assessment
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.

Sudan - 1 Sudan Country Profile
Generic Information
Sudan, also The Sudan, is a country on the south-eastern edge of the Sahara Desert in East Africa, bordered by Chad to the west, Libya to the north west, Egypt to the north, Eritrea and Ethiopia to the east and south east, South Sudan to the south and Central African Republic to the south-west. Its climate is desert, semi-desert and dry in the utmost north, semi-desert to rainy in the central and southern regions, and Mediterranean in eastern areas.
Sudan has seen significant periods of internal conflict since the 1970s. Conflict in the western Darfur region in 2003 displaced approximately 2 million people and saw 200,000 to 400,000 deaths. The UN and AU currently conduct a joint peacekeeping mission in the region, though the mission is being scaled down in phases beginning in 2017 and continuing into 2018. Since the independence of South Sudan in July 2011, there has been a rebel movement in South Kordofan and Blue Nile states from the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N). Sudan has received a large number of refugees displaced by insecurity in South Sudan, as well as refugee populations from Eritrea, Chad and Syria.
The secession of South Sudan also negatively affected the economy of Sudan as the south was responsible for most of the country’s oil production, which was the basis for economic growth since oil exportation began in 1999. Economic sanctions imposed by external governments also limited investment, though these were partially lifted in October 2017. The government’s new 2018 budget implemented more austerity measures and the Sudanese pound is seeing significant inflation against the dollar.
Population 39,598,700 (2016 estimate)
Population: 30,894,000 (2008 – last census)
Maternal mortality rate: 750 deaths/100,000 live births (2008)
Birth Rate: 31.7 births/1,000 population (2012 estimate)
Urban population: 40 percent of total population
Life expectancy at birth: 62.57 years
Administrative Divisions: 15 states; Red Sea, Gezira, Khartoum, Gedaref, White Nile, Blue Nile, Northern, Western Darfur, Southern Darfur, Southern Kordofan, Kassala, River Nile, Northern Darfur, Northern Kordofan and Sennar. In addition, the Sudanese Government announced the creation of two new states, Central Darfur (capital Zaleingi) and East Darfur (capital El Daean)
The Sudanese time zone is GMT +2, with a dialling code of +249. The currency is the Sudanese pound. Traffic drives on the right-hand side of the road.

Seasonal Effects on Transport |

Transport Type |
Time Frame |
Comments / Details |
Primary Road Transport |
|
The primary roads (Port Sudan to Khartoum/Kosti/El Obeid) are drivable throughout the year. |
Secondary Road Transport |
May – October |
During the rainy season, some roadways are inaccessible due to floods or high waters. Truckload capacity are reduced to 50% to overcome muddy roads causing delays in the distributions. |
Rail Transport |
May – October |
During the rainy season, wash ways have caused sectors the of the rail tracks to be out of use. Operational speed is reduced from 40 Kph to 20 Kph. |
Air Transport |
May – September |
Poor visibility caused by the “haboob”, a violent dust storm, can occur in central Sudan when the moist south-westerly flow first arrives (May through July to September). The presence of dangerous clouds affects visibility and flight safety during the rainy season. |
Waterway Transport |
|
During the dry season, some parts of the Nile River are not navigable. |
The climate ranges from hyper-arid in the north to tropical wet-and-dry in the far southwest. The most significant climatic variables are rainfall and the length of the dry season. From January to March, there is practically no rainfall countrywide except for a small area in north-western Sudan. By early April up to October the country is affected by heavy rains and thunderstorms.
El Niño effects often impact the country. It significantly impacted the 2015 rainy season with delayed rains, below-average rainfall and intermittent dry spells. This caused reduced cultivation areas, delayed planting, poor pastures and limited water availability for both people and their livestock. These impacts are threatening essential agricultural and livestock production across Sudan.
The Airports and Ports (Othma Digna Port) have allocated facilities for the Hadj pilgrims, however short periods of congestion are experienced in the vicinity at the departure and returning points.
Seasonal Effects on Storage and Handling |
||
Activity Type |
Time Frame |
Comments / Details |
Storage |
May – October |
Warehouse maintenance is crucial to avoid water and moisture damage; regular ventilation should be ensured to prevent damp commodities. Although infestation levels are moderate, immediate dispatches to ensure quick stock-rotation is recommended. Quality checks are needed to minimise infestations and losses, especially in main hubs such as El Obeid; quality control is key for an efficient emergency response. |
Handling |
May – October |
Heavy rains would significantly affect the handling capacity at the Port causing delays in dispatches. In Port Sudan rains are much weaker in comparison to the rest of the country; however cargo loaded on trucks and wagons (for rail transport) needs to be carefully secured and cocooned (wrapped, covered) in tarpaulins to avoid water seepage while in transit. |
Other |
May – October |
Due to road deterioration caused by heavy rains, deliveries to the distribution sites can be significantly delayed. |

1.2 Sudan Regulatory Departments and Quality Control
Monitoring and inspections of cargo and processes
Sudan has no mandatory pre-shipment inspection. However, all importers need to be registered at the Import/Export Registry at the Ministry of Foreign Trade. Usually importers are advised to have a Pre-shipment Inspection Certificate issued by International cargo Inspectors registered by Sudanese Standards and Metrology Organization (SSMO). Therefore, importers or appointed agents must present SSMO requirements.
Sudan does not apply any quantitative import registrations; all goods can be imported to Sudan except those goods that are prohibited by social values or security considerations. Sometimes a double check inspection might be conducted by the SSMO.
For cargo clearance process; the SSMO must take a sample from all cargo, then send the sample of the selected items to the laboratory to be analysed, and finally issue a certificate upon approval.
Export and Import Procedures - SSMO
The SSMO prepares, adopts and applies the standard specifications for the local and imported products and services. SSMO objective is the protection of the national economy and the Sudanese population in the fields of health, environment, safety and commercial forgery.
Concerning Sudanese imports, the role of SSMO is sequenced as follows:
- Preparation of standard specifications and their approval.
- Coordination with the related bodies (Bank of Sudan, Ministry of the Foreign Trade and the Businessmen Association). These bodies are provided with standard specifications to guarantee the arrival of goods that are in conformity with Sudanese standards.
- To implement standard specifications on imports in all country’s entry points to ensure conformity and respect these specifications.
The procedures undertaken by Port Sudan branch for the Sudanese imports begin with the concept of Conformity assessment as follows:
- Procedures starts with checking and inspecting all
documents, which are submitted for any operation whether technical
or commercial. This process makes sure that requirements of trade
and standard specifications are fulfilled, depending on the type of
the imports, as follows:
- The imports of regulated products, requires special documents (the certificate of international surveyor) and it is usually subjected to conditional temporary release system.
- Imports that requires cooperation with competent Bodies, such as pesticides, seeds and drugs …etc.
- Imports specific to some Institutes and Ministries (e.g. the Ministry of Energy).
- General diverse imports.
- Field and physical inspection to make sure for the general status of the consignment and the conformity of the label card with the submitted documents.
- Withdrawal of samples for laboratory analysis procedures to ensure its compliance to standard specifications.
- Issuing of conformity or non-conformity certificate according to the above-mentioned procedures.
Other Activities:
- To present a complete set of services for the above-mentioned stages in the State entry points in Osefe, Sawakin, free zone Area, Southern ports, Northern ports and laboratories at headquarters aiming to facilitate trade and to gain customer satisfaction by implementing the various quality systems.
- Starting to link all these areas electronically so as to reduce time of release and to facilitate the flow of trade, besides the complete cooperation with the related bodies at the Seaports.
- Effective participation with the Consultative Council which embraces the Ministry of Cabinet, the Seaports Society (Seaport Authority, Customs and all Regulatory bodies, and Ship agents).
- To enforce Resolution no. 119 year 2008, which aimed at facilitating the flow of exports and imports through a single window system, and to unify all regulatory bodies under one single umbrella.
Export procedures - SSMO
- Review of commercial documents issued by the related bodies such as the Bank of Sudan, Ministry of foreign trade (export contract).
- Review of technical documents issued from multiple bodies
according to the type of export:
- Health Certificate for the live animals and sorting leather.
- Certificate issued from Geology Corporation for minerals.
- Animal Resource Certificate for fish.
- Sieving Certificate for exported seeds.
- Steaming Certificates for agricultural crops issued by Plant Quarantine Administration.
- Field inspection for exports and ensure their conformity to standard specifications.
- Monitoring and follow-up of sieving of exported seeds and ensure conformity label cards to standard specifications.
- Subject Sudanese exports to laboratory analysis in addition to the field inspection to ensure compliance to standard specifications and thereby issue the certificate of conformity.
- Taking into account the terms of contracts agreed upon between buyer and seller and ensure their implementation.
- Follow up the final packaging of exports into containers and ships.
General observations:
- The implementation of guidelines and regulations issued by international organizations such as ISO, Codex, AIDMO, WTO, etc. must be ensured.
- Accreditation of laboratories especially for the Sudanese exports is to be considered.
- Rehabilitation and training of human resources to cope up with international techniques and implement the electronic system in applications and procedures to reduce the release time for imports and exports is needed.
- Implementation of quality systems is needed.

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.
For information on Sudan Government contacts details, please see the following link: 4.1 Sudan Government Contact List
For information on Sudan Fuel Provider contact details, please see the following link: 4.7 Sudan Fuel Providers Contact List
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.

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.

3.4 Sudan Telecommunications
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.

3.5.1 Sudan Food Suppliers
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.

3.6 Sudan Additional Services
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.

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. |

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.
