  • Why is cotton important in Sudan?
  • Cotton is one of the most important Sudanese crops and was the main foreign exchange earner before the development of a national oil industry. Sudan adopted Bt cotton in June 2012 after the constitution of the National Biosafety Council. Only one variety, named Seini 1, was released for commercialization for both irrigated and rainfed areas.
  • Why is Bt cotton a major cash crop in Sudan?
  • Cotton is a major cash crop in Sudan but production declined in recent years because of bollworm infestation. The introduction of Bt cotton in Sudan was thus a welcome change and is expected to boost cotton productivity, restore cotton as a main cash crop, and serve as a major contributor to the country's economy.
  • How much cottonseed oil is produced worldwide?
  • This statistic shows the production volume of cottonseed oil worldwide from 2012/2013 to 2022/23. Global production of cottonseed oil has been increasing in recent years, ending with 4.97 million metric tons of oil produced in 2021/2022. In 2022/2023, 5.02 million metric tons are forecast to be produced.
  • How much cotton is grown in Sudan?
  • In 2012, at the beginning of commercialization, Sudan cultivated only 19,300 hectares with Bt cotton but that was increased to 61,530 hectares in 2013 (89% of the cultivated area for cotton) and this year it reached almost 100%, with a cultivation area of some 78,500 hectares.
