  • Where are groundnuts grown in Sudan?
  • Two varieties of groundnut are grown in Sudan; one is grown in the western part of the county accounting to 60-70% of the total production whilst the other variety grows in Gazeria and East Sudan. The ‘western’ groundnut that is typically grown in Darfur is known to be of better quality possessing higher levels of protein and oil.‌
  • Why are groundnuts important to Sudan?
  • Sudan is one of the world’s biggest producers, although its prominence on the world market has declined over the past few years. Groundnut production is particularly relevant to Sudan’s economy, as it generates much-needed foreign exchange. Domestically, groundnuts are used for consumption and processing.‌
  • Are groundnuts a major foreign-exchange earner in Sudan?
  • While farmers in Sudan are facing economic hardships, the country’s groundnut production remains a significant foreign-exchange earner. Janine Ryan reports. Groundnuts are the most significant cash crop produced in Sudan.‌
  • How much does a metric ton of groundnut cost in Sudan?
  • According to the Sudanese Federation of Industrial Chambers the decrease in groundnut production has resulted in a food gap which consequently resulted in sudden hike in prices: One metric ton of groundnut currently costs 13,500 SDG (USD 2,265) whilst at the beginning of the year it used to cost 4,100 SDG (USD 687).‌
  • Which countries export groundnuts to Sudan?
  • Sudan’s main markets for groundnut exports are Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, Egypt, Turkey and China. Low yields remain a challenge to Sudan’s groundnut production. Poor adoption of technology among smallholder farmers, as well as a lack of government support, are key reasons why the country’s yields per hectare remain relatively low.‌
  • How much groundnuts do Sudanese farmers produce?
  • In the 2011/12 season, Sudanese farmers produced 1,185 million tons of groundnuts. For the 2022/23 season, the US Department of Agriculture estimates that the country will produce 2,5 million tons of groundnuts, up 1,315 million tons from the 2011/12 season.
