Decrease in Gum Arabic Production in Sudan

Sudan Events – Rehab Abdullah

The Director General of the Gum Arabic Company in Sudan, Awadallah Ibrahim, revealed the decline in gum arabic production. He attributed this during his talk to (Sudan Events) to the fact that most of the gum-producing states are now unsafe and outside the production circle, revealing the weak quantities imported into the markets.

Indicating that the price of a train of talah reached 25,000 pounds, while the price of a quintal of hashab reached 35,000 pounds in Blue Nile State, noting that the season is now in its infancy.

Awadallah confirmed the lack of clarity regarding the foreign market, due to the militia war, and considered it the first threat to gum production and marketing, because it affected the movement of producers, the movement of funds and their provision for the purchase and transfer process, and how to obtain fuel and secure roads.
