Former Gezira Scheme Governor: Sudan will not starve

Sudan Events – Rehab Abdullah

Officials and experts downplayed warnings that Sudan was facing famine and food shortages due to the war, and justified this by the presence of a strategic stock of grains that covers most of the local need, but some of them confirmed that the problem lies in how to deliver food supplies to the needy within the cities and some states.
The former governor of Gezira Scheme , Dr. Omar Marzouk, refuted the expectations of external organizations that Sudan would be exposed to a food crisis due to the war since mid-April of this year, and attributed this to the fact that the strategic reserve exceeded
4,786,000 tons of food reserve.
He said in his speech to (Sudan Events ) that Sudan will not starve, pointing out that Sudan enjoys fertile agricultural lands and harvests a good percentage of crops and food grains, pointing out that the Gezira Scheme alone cultivates (350 thousand fedans of sorghum equals 350 thousand sacks of corn).
In addition to planning to plant (300) thousand fedans of wheat during the winter season of 2023, in addition to producing the rest of the projects.
