Agriculture, both animal and vegetable, constitutes one of the most important sources of livelihood in Sudan for more than 62% of the working population in the early 1990s. Sudan is considered one of the three largest countries on the African continent in terms of area and one of the most important countries in the world in which water and arable agricultural land are available in approximately one-third of its total area of 1,886,068 square kilometers (728,215 square miles), making it a proven global “food basket.” .
The area of arable land was estimated in 1998 at about 16,900,000 hectares (41.8 million acres), of which about 1.9 million hectares (4.7 million acres) were irrigated land, especially on the banks of the Nile River and other rivers in the north of the country.
Cotton is a major export crop. Sudan is one of the largest sesame producing countries in the world, ranked third after India and China. It is also one of the countries in the world that produces the most corn, gum arabic, peanuts, and other products.
Agricultural investment opportunities in Sudan, which has an arable area estimated at 170 million acres, equivalent to two-thirds of the total area of Sudan, which possesses water wealth estimated at 433.5 billion cubic meters, including 18.5 billion cubic meters of Nile water, 10 billion from its tributaries, 400 billion from rainwater, and 5 Billions of groundwater.
Sudan’s agricultural wealth is wasted due to traditional production methods that drain efforts and water resources and increase costs. We point out that Arry kiddy’s vision in Sudan focuses on raising productivity through modernizing production methods and adopting modern agricultural technology, through contractual partnerships.
Sudan also has a huge and diverse heritage of livestock, both domesticated and wild, with distinctive specifications to meet the needs of the local and foreign markets, and thus constitute an important foundation for food security and an economic development base. Livestock contributes more than 20% of GDP, more than 40% to agricultural production, and more than 25% of export earnings. The number of livestock exceeds 107 million heads, and livestock in Sudan ranks first on the Arab and African levels, and sixth on the world level.
Sheep is a major export livestock. Sudan is one of the largest livestock exporting countries in the region, and it is also one of the countries in the world that produces the most cattle and camels and is a source of meat export to Arab and European countries via another party, as some countries export meat from Sudanese livestock sources, so we at Arry Kiddy are working to develop investment in meat export via Modern technology with global specifications for all countries of the world.
