El-Qadarif, Sudan - In a significant development, livestock exporters in Sudan's El-Qadarif state have announced that the state's livestock exports have resumed after a brief halt due to a fuel crisis. The crisis had stalled the transportation of over 450 tons of agricultural products and threatened exporters with financial penalties. According to sources, the state's government has allocated fuel for the transportation of livestock and agricultural exports, bringing relief to exporters.
The Chairman of the El-Qadarif Livestock Exporters' Chamber, Mustafa Abdul Karim, expressed gratitude to the state's authorities, particularly the acting governor, General Muhammad Ahmad Hassan, and the Ministry of Finance, for their swift response to their appeals. Abdul Karim praised the government's efforts to develop the state's livestock exports, citing measures such as providing veterinary services, facilitating export procedures, and supporting feed supply.
Abdul Karim also commended the Ministry of Finance, led by Minister Najat Ahmad Muhammad, for its efforts to address the challenges facing agricultural and livestock exports. He appreciated the interventions and directives of Dr. Khalid Abdoun, Director-General of the state's Revenue Collection Device, in facilitating export procedures and reducing risks for exporters.
According to Abdul Karim, approximately 30,000 heads of livestock are ready for export, and contracts with Saudi importers continue to ensure the demand for Sudanese livestock. El-Qadarif has maintained its position as the top exporter of livestock for six consecutive years, thanks to the efforts of veterinarians, technicians, and other stakeholders involved in the export process.
A government official in El-Qadarif announced that a fuel tanker carrying gasoline has arrived at Port Sudan, set to unload its cargo, which is expected to ease the fuel crisis in the state. This development is expected to have a positive impact on the state's economy and export sector.
The resumption of livestock exports is a welcome relief to exporters, who had been facing significant challenges due to the fuel crisis. The state's government has demonstrated its commitment to supporting the export sector, and exporters are optimistic about the prospects for growth and development in the industry.
With the fuel crisis easing, El-Qadarif is poised to maintain its position as a major player in Sudan's livestock export industry. The state's authorities have demonstrated their ability to respond to challenges and support the growth of the sector, which is expected to have a positive impact on the state's economy.
