Export from Sudan

Sudan is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. Sudan's economy boomed on the back of increases in oil production, high oil prices, and large inflows of foreign direct investment. 

Sudan, once the largest and one of the most geographically diverse states in Africa, split into two countries in July 2011 after the people of the south voted for independence.

Agriculture production remains Sudan's most-important sector, employing 80 percent of the workforce and contributing 39 percent of GDP, but most farms remain rain-fed and susceptible to drought. Instability, adverse weather and weak world-agricultural prices ensures that much of the population will remain at or below the poverty line for years.

Sudan is attempting to develop non-oil sources of revenues, such as gold mining, while carrying out an austerity program to reduce expenditures. The world’s largest exporter of gum Arabic, Sudan produces 75-80% of the world’s total output. 

Primary resources are agricultural, but cotton, peanuts, Arabic Gum, and sesame seed production and export are taking on greater importance. Although the country is trying to diversify its cash crops, cotton and peanuts remain its major agricultural exports. Sesame seeds and peanuts are cultivated for domestic consumption and increasingly for export. Livestock production has vast potential, and many animals, particularly cows, sheep, and camels, are exported to Saudi Arabia, and other Arab countries. 

Sudan’s most important export is gold (70 percent of total exports) followed by livestock, oil, arabic gum, cotton, seeds, insect resins.

Main export partners of Sudan are China, India, UAE, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Italy. 

 

Import to Sudan

Since the economic shock of South Sudan's secession, Sudan has struggled to stabilize its economy and make up for the loss of foreign exchange earnings. The interruption of oil production in South Sudan in 2012 for over a year and the consequent loss of oil transit fees further exacerbated the fragile state of Sudan’s economy. Sudan is also subject to comprehensive US sanctions. 

Sudan remains a net importer of food. Problems of investment finance, production and transportation remain the greatest constraints to a more dynamic agricultural economy.

Sudan’s limited industrial development consists of agricultural processing and various light industries located in Khartoum North. In recent years, the Giad Industrial Complex in Al Jazirah state introduced the assembly of small autos and trucks, and some heavy military equipment such as armored personnel carriers and the proposed “Bashir” main battle tank. Although Sudan is reputed to have great mineral resources, exploration has been quite limited, and the country’s real potential is unknown. Small quantities of asbestos, chromium, and mica are exploited commercially.

Sudan’s main imports are food, manufactured goods, machinery, raw sugar, packaged medicaments, rubber tires, wheat, cars.

Main import partner is China (22 percent). Others include  Brazil, UAE, India, Italy and Germany.
