Gum Arabic from Sudan

Gum arabic is an important naturally derived export commodity from Sudan used as an edible glue and binder.  Also puts the fizz in soft drinks.  Some 60,000 tonnes a year are produced.

Approximately one-third of the total area of Sudan is suitable for agricultural development and heavier rainfall in the south permits both agriculture and herding by nomadic tribes.
