Sudan is the world's largest producer and exporter of gum arabic, supplying between 70% and 80% of the global supplies of this strategic commodity, which is used in cosmetics, medicines, and food products. Gum harvesting operations have been significantly affected by the ongoing war since April 2023, leading to a decline in production and instability in the producing regions, especially in Khartoum and Darfur states. This has caused disruptions in international markets and an increase in smuggling networks across neighboring countries. Despite efforts to diversify gum sources within Africa, Sudan still holds a sovereign position due to the high quality of its high-quality Acacia Senegal gum, and fully replacing its supply remains difficult in the short term.
