Abstract: Spatial and seasonal price differences for sorghum in the Sudan are investigated. Results indicate that the producer's share of the consumer price is low. Seasonal price spreads indicate an excess return to the storage function. Causes of these large price differences are poor marketing infrastructure and government policy.
