ProjectDevelopment of Date Palm Products and by-Products Value Chains in Sudan - TCP/SUD/3703 2022

No results found.Agriculture is the main source of sustained growth in the Sudan and in 2019 contributed to 30 percent of the gross domestic product With a large cultivable area, it is claimed that the Sudan has the potential to be the breadbasket of Africa and the Middle East In the Sudan, estimations indicate that there are over 8 million date palms, mostly cultivated in the northern region of the country, and the presence of more than 50 local cultivars are documented In the past years, investments in the date sector have considerably increased due to its significant contribution to food security, income generation and elevation of rural poverty, in addition to its role in combating desertification The Sudanese production of dates is estimated at 4 393 55 tonnes ranking it as the sixth highest date producing country in the Middle East and Northern Africa, with an annual date production yield of around 11 8 tonnes /ha However, only 432 tonnes are exported, mainly consisting of semi dry varieties Sudan has a good potential for semi dry varieties, such as the recently introduced variety Medjool which possesses a high potential for exportation However, despite the growth in the international demand, the contribution of the exportations of the Sudan to the international date market remains low. -

Appui à la production à grande échelle des vitroplants de palmier dattier
2021Also available in:
No results found.En raison des conditions pédoclimatiques difficiles et des sécheresses récurrentes, Djibouti reste tributaire des pays limitrophes sur le plan alimentaire. Face à ce défi majeur, le développement de l’agriculture oasienne de rente a été jugé hautement prioritaire le cadre de sa stratégie de lutte contre la pauvreté et d’amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire. Cependant, l’indisponibilité en matériel végétal (plants dattiers) et l’absence de variétés à haute valeur marchande constituent les principales contraintes au développement du palmier dattier dans le pays. Dans ce contexte, le recours aux méthodes de multiplication végétative in vitro est devenu la seule alternative permettant la multiplication en masse et la diffusion rapide des cultivars d’intérêts auprès des agriculteurs et des promoteurs privés du secteur en nombre croissant. L'appui de l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO) contribuera à renforcer les capacités du laboratoire de culture in vitro à passer d’un stade pilote à celui d’une production à grande échelle des vitroplants de palmier dattier. -
