Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, Sudan's carrots and turnips market volume grew gradually, reaching a peak of 46 281 tonnes in 2020. This increase was underpinned by state-led initiatives, including a new investment law that facilitated foreign capital inflow into agriculture and central bank funding for the Gezira project to develop production. The launch of cold storage facilities at key airports improved post-harvest handling, while expanded agricultural credit programs provided farmers with necessary resources.

Market volume dipped to 45 781 tonnes in 2021, primarily due to irrigation water shortages caused by low water levels in the Sennar dams and higher production costs following fuel price increases and currency depreciation that raised fertilizer import expenses. In response, authorities implemented a water‑supply tracking system to improve irrigation efficiency and restructured the Agricultural Bank to finance larger vegetable projects, which helped production recover to 45 974 tonnes in 2022.

The market stabilized around 46 000 tonnes in 2022‑2023 despite an armed conflict in Gezira state in 2023 that halted output in the main project area. Government measures such as new customs duties on imported carrot and turnip seeds to encourage domestic production, along with legislation clarifying farmland ownership rights, contributed to market resilience during this period.
