SSA Context in Sudan:
Constraints of SSA in Sudan
FAO/MoAI Sudan - Sustainable Small Scale Agriculture for Inclusive Development in Sudan (March 2015)
1. Land ownership
• Fragmented farm holdings;
• Ownership by local customary laws and norms, rather than legally recognized;
2. Access to technology
• Use of simple manual tools and family labor in farm practices;
• Scarcity of modern agricultural inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, and improved seeds
3. Access to services
• Weak institutional agricultural services including research, extension, pest and disease control;
• Weak organizational structures dealing with traditional agricultural production;
4. Funding sources
• Dependence on traditional sources of finance such as relatives and village merchant (k) low
productivity and (l) weak marketing services.

5. 5
SSA Context in Sudan:
National Priorities for SSA Sustainable Development
1. Institutional, policy planning and legal framework capacity
strengthened
• Functional capacity for agriculture, food security and natural resource management (NRM)
policy and planning;
• Legal reform;
• Improvement of valid and reliable sector co-ordination;
• Enhanced and sustained information management systems at federal, state, locality and
community levels.
2. Agricultural research and technology transfer institutions
• Provide support services to farmers, pastoralists, fisher folk and tree-dependent people
according to international best practice
3. Productivity and production of cropping, livestock, fisheries and
forestry systems significantly increased
• Cost of production reduced and competitiveness of products improved;
• Effects of climate change and variability and associated extreme weather events
on smallholder producers negated;
• Livelihoods of smallholder growers, pastoralists, fisher folk and tree-dependent
people enhanced.
