Proposal to establish a Sovereign Fund for Agriculture in Sudan

Sudan Events – Rehab Abdullah

Agricultural experts called for activating the sovereign fund to support agriculture, pointing out that the fund was established as an investment fund to create partnerships with local investors and foreign capital from the private and public sectors by designing unique investment products through optimal exploitation of state-owned assets.
Adding that the fund works to attract investments by implementing a multi-sector investment strategy that enables it to support the country’s economic growth and contribute to the implementation of structural reforms that aim to enhance the role of all sectors in achieving comprehensive sustainable development according to the goals set for that.
Through this multi-sector investment approach (which is canning and drying vegetables and fruits, juice manufacturing and oil manufacturing linked to livestock, so there will be dairy and meat derivatives industries and leather tanning), large factories will be established that accommodate everyone and fight unemployment and high prices and achieve self-sufficiency from our local production, which is the best product in global markets. It only lacks how to present our products to the consumer in the form of canning and packaging.
The fund seeks to enrich the country’s capabilities and preserve its wealth represented in its nature, history, antiquity and professionalism of its human cadres, so that Sudan becomes the gateway to agricultural and animal production to the World .
The experts affirmed the need to activate the fund to support agriculture and the access of Sudanese products to global markets.
