SUDAN'S IRRIGATED SUBSECTOR: ISSUES FOR POLICY ANALYSIS

Brian C. D'Silva

No 277904, Staff Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Sudan's present economic crisis suggests a need for evaluating the role of its irrigated subsector, the largest in Sub-Saharan Africa, in agricultural and economic recovery. The present system of production in the subsector results in a suboptimal use of imported inputs like fertilizer. The need for such an evaluation centers on changes in cropping patterns, in institutions, and in production technologies that will help generate foreign exchange earnings, Government revenues, and farm sector income.
