The South Kordofan Cabinet, chaired by Governor Mohammad Ibrahim Abdel-Karim and its members, approved the performance report for the Ministry of Production and Economic Resources in a meeting at the Government Secretariat after extensive discussions and deliberations by the members.
Mr. Ibrahim Hamdeen Koko, the Secretary-General of the State Government and the official spokesperson for the Cabinet, confirmed in a press statement that the council approved the 2024 performance report for the Ministry of Production and Economic Resources, which covered several aspects related to various sectors.
He pointed out that the council focused on the development and enhancement of livestock and fishery resources, localizing industries, in addition to exploring the potential exploitation of the state’s mineral resources.
Hamdeen confirmed that the state government succeeded in cultivating 600 feddans for localizing improved seed varieties of Dhura (sorghum) to address the issue of seed imports, especially for small-scale farmers.
