Jonglei State of the Republic of South Sudan is actually the bottom of the Nile Basin, this means it is floods prone mostly and the local crops seeds therefore are floods resistant, however, sorghum is the staple food crop grown all over the State, other crops come in a secondary stage. In this juncture, the seeds imported and distributed by humanitarian organizations are tried several times by the local farming communities but got no impact as to the adaptability and acclimatizing to the new environment from the origin of the seed, secondly, the imported seeds might have been doing well under well advance plant protection techknowledgy and well drained soils, intact different climates suit different varieties of the same crop and each crop variety of the same variety adapt to different climate and region of the world and can do well where ever suitable to it. Researchers should come up with some kind of no boundary organization, raise fund and register
 itself to discover crops as to their adaptability but not imposing some kind of seed techknowledgy but improve the local as to its locality. 
I am not totally disagreeing but experiments on vast varieties of different can be carried out in the State in particular and in the whole of the Country. But I object to the idea of direct distribution to the local farming communities without prior experiment.
