Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, Sudan's yam market volume grew from 171.5 thousand tons to 174.6 thousand tons. This expansion was underpinned by the Central Bank of Sudan's policies regulating agricultural financing and production support, coupled with the Ministry of Agriculture's ongoing backing of the farming sector. Adjustments to agricultural policies in 2019 further encouraged output, and despite global supply chain disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, sustained government market regulation helped maintain growth.

The market saw a modest dip to 173.1 thousand tons in 2021, a period marked by the entry of new players into the agricultural sector driven by government investment promotion policies. Changes in packaging requirements for agricultural products also introduced operational adjustments. Recovery followed in 2022, with volume reaching 173.6 thousand tons, facilitated by modifications to export-import legislation through Sudanese Customs and new Central Bank policies impacting agricultural trade and financing.

Production stabilized at 173.7 thousand tons in 2023. Continued state support through priority development projects in the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Minerals helped sustain output, even as rising energy and petroleum prices influenced agricultural production costs, demonstrating the sector's resilience to broader economic conditions.
