Highlights:
- 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.
