Earlier Report Observations

Sudan's garlic market volume experienced significant fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. After starting at 34 595 t in 2018, it declined to 33 008 t in 2019 and fell sharply to 26 810 t in 2020. The market then recovered over the next two years, reaching 30 385 t in 2021 and 32 076 t in 2022, before stabilizing at 31 701 t in 2023.

The introduction of import and export procedures by the Central Bank of Sudan in January 2022 regulated customs processes and tariffs for agricultural products, including garlic. This regulatory change coincided with the market's recovery phase. For 2024, import volumes were recorded at 460 t with no exports, while Central Bank policies and Sudan's abundance of raw materials and trained technical workforce are reported as factors in the market environment.
