The ongoing conflicts in Sudan for more than a year have had a devastating impact on the agricultural sector, pushing many farmers to abandon their land and leading to serious threats of famine.

United Nations data stated that more than half of the population is currently suffering from critical levels of sudden hunger.

Many farmers were forced to abandon their fields in search of a safe haven as the fighting spread to vital agricultural areas such as Al-Jazira, Sennar, Darfur and Kordofan.

The mass exodus left abandoned fields and led to a significant reduction in cultivated areas, which threatens to put the current agricultural season at risk of collapse.
