GIEWS Update – The Sudan |
|
|
11 September 2018 KEY MESSAGES
·
Fuel shortages are reported in several areas in the country, triggering sharp price increases in the parallel market.
·
Prices of most agricultural inputs surged in the last 12 months to more than twice their year-earlier levels.
·
Availability and access constraints to fuel and agricultural inputs are mainly caused by the depreciation of the Sudanese Pound and dwindling foreign
currency reserves that have affected imports.
·
Despite the provision of fuel by the Government to the agriculture sector, supply shortages have affected land preparation, planting and weeding operations. |
