Earlier Report Observations

The cabbage market in Sudan experienced a period of moderate expansion between 2018 and 2022, with its volume growing from 2,782 t to a peak of 3,066 t. This growth was not linear, as a minor contraction occurred in 2021 before the market reached its highest point. However, a decline to 2,968 t was recorded in 2023, coinciding with the outbreak of civil conflict in the country.

The ongoing war from April 2023 severely impacted the agricultural sector into 2024. Key challenges included a sharp rise in food prices, increased costs for transportation and fuel, and widespread shortages of essential agricultural inputs such as fertilizers and seeds. These factors directly disrupted supply chains and hampered the production capacity for cabbages and other vegetables.

Simultaneously, consumer purchasing power in popular markets eroded significantly due to high inflation. This led to more cautious spending and reduced demand for vegetables like cabbage, compounding the market's difficulties as the conflict continued to constrain agricultural output and distribution.
