The remainder of this paper is organized
as follows. Section two describes the state of the rural
population in Sudan, by first discussing the spatial
distribution of poverty across the states as well as changes
in poverty levels between 2009 and 2014-15. It also
describes the profile of poor rural households using
characteristics such as their incomes, consumption, and
assets. Section three focuses on the practice of agriculture
in Sudan. It documents the agriculture-specific
characteristics of households, such as choice of crops, use
of inputs, irrigation, plot size, and credit access. We use
these characteristics to illustrate the profile of rural
farmers in Sudan and identify differences between poor and
non-poor farmers. Section four describes agricultural yields
across Sudan and relates these measures of farm productivity
to the previously described farm characteristics to identify
constraints to agricultural productivity. Section five
concludes with a summary of the main findings and policy recommendations. |
