Sudan Monthly Market Update

Year of publication 2010

Author Agriculture and Economic Development Analysis Division

Product type Book (stand-alone)

Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) Preliminary results from the MoAF-FAO lead crop and food security assessment, and forecast information from the MoAF indicate that 2009/10 agricultural production is expected to be below average. Cereal price trends support this prediction. Cereal prices remain at unseasonably record high levels, and have shown stability or slight increase in December contrary to seasonal trends. Higher production costs, increase in demand (especially from urban population), plus increased storage in anticip ation of further increase in prices later in the season are the main reasons for price increases. Prices are expected to increase further in the coming months. Protection of consumers from the adverse effects of increasing cereal prices remains both a marketing and social policy challenge. Some price support efforts are still required in order to maintain consumers' incentives.

    Helping Smallholder Producers to Access Markets in Marginalized Areas of Kenya and South Sudan - GTFS RAF 478 ITA 2018
    Also available in:
    Low agricultural production and low household incomes mean that food security in the northwest of Kenya and the southeastern part of South Sudan continues to be a challenge. With smallholder producers and small and medium-sized entrepreneurs often marginalized and excluded from access to markets at national and regional levels, there was an urgent need to devise innovative approaches to developing and reinforcing efficient business linkages between value chain actors.
