Sudan has good agricultural potential. It has diverse climates and soils and adequate water supplies through rainfall, rivers and underground water. Sudan also has huge animal wealth estimated at about 130 million heads of cattle, sheep, goats and camels10 with adequate and variable quantities of animal feed.

On the other hand, Sudan suffered negatively from civil conflicts. These conflicts in its southern regions as well as Darfur, have affected all aspects of life resulting in massive displacement and migration from conflict-stricken areas to major cities in the northern Sudan. Rural poverty is not, however, the result of conflict alone but also partly an outcome of post-independence development strategies that have had an urban bias and tended to neglect the traditional agricultural sector on which the majority of the population depend. This has resulted in dire poverty. Source: Sudan Millennium Development Goals Interim Unified Report 2004.
