Sudanese Gum Arabic Faces Loss Amid Conflict
Sudanese gum arabic cultivation, which is one of the most important economic sources, is suffering significant damage due to the ongoing war in the country. Farmers have been displaced, losing their lands and crops, which has led to a substantial decline in production—from over 30,000 tons annually to less than 10,000 tons in some regions. Additionally, clashes and conflicts have halted harvesting and smuggling activities, and have destroyed the Hishab and Talh forests, threatening Sudan's position as the world's largest producer and exporter of gum arabic. Restoring the sector is crucial, requiring reconstruction programs that include farmer financing, securing production areas, rehabilitating infrastructure, and protecting the forests to ensure continued production and maintain Sudan's global standing.
