Chinese companies to grow one million feddans cotton in Sudan

The Sudanese government has signed a MoU with Chinese companies that will allow the latter to grow one million feddans of cotton in Sudan. Feddan is a unit of area equivalent to 1.038 acres (0.42 ha). Chinese companies are expected to cultivate 450,000 feddans in a state in Sudan besides building factories that house textile and readymade clothing units. In 2013, the then Sudan’s minister of agriculture Abdel Halim al-Mutafi had announced that his government signed an agricultural cooperation agreement with Beijing which gives Chinese companies several options to operate in Sudan.

Last May, Sudan’s Minister of Water Resources, Irrigation and Electricity, Mutaz Musa had pointed out that his ministry was implementing 155 electricity projects along with China at a cost of $10 billion. The Sudanese government will fund the project.
