Sudan"s crops sector reveals a compelling trend where the rural population, constituting 66. 1% of the total, is increasingly involved in agricultural employment, currently at 42. 98%. Despite a robust rural demographic, agricultural raw material exports form only 0. 93% of merchandise exports, highlighting an untapped potential in the global market. Furthermore, cereal yield improvements from 451. 7 kg/ha in 2010 to 572. 1 kg/ha in 2015 suggest advancements in agricultural productivity.

However, the disparity between cereal production and the land under cereal cultivation, which decreased from 9. 9 million hectares in 2011 to 7. 1 million hectares in 2015, indicates a need for optimized land use strategies. Challenges persist, including limited access to basic sanitation services for 64. 9% of the population and electricity access for just 32. 7% of rural areas. These infrastructural gaps hinder the efficiency and expansion potential of crop production. Moreover, the agricultural sector contributes 31.

56% to GDP, yet the value added per worker remains low, emphasizing the need for skill development and investment in technology to enhance productivity. Globally, Sudan"s market position can be bolstered by leveraging its natural resources, which constitute 2. 97% of GDP.
