Cotton planting in Sudan has a long history dating back to the 19th century, when it was first cultivated in Eastern Sudan’s Tokar area. The commercial cultivation of cotton began in 1905 at the Zeidab Pilot Scheme in Northern Sudan. A significant milestone in Sudan’s irrigated agricultural production was reached in 1925 with the establishment of the Sennar dam. Since then, cotton has played a prominent role as a cash crop.

HISTORY Cotton planting in Sudan has a long history dating back to the 19th century, when it was first cultivated in Eastern Sudan's Tokar area.

A significant milestone in Sudan's irrigated agricultural production was reached in 1925 with the establishment of the Sennar dam. Since then, cotton has played a prominent role as a cash crop. MAJOR VARIETIES Different types of varieties in the commercial market: 1. Barakat (90): The early maturing and high-yielding major extra long staple (ELS) variety (33-36 mm) is comparable to the traditional Barakat in terms of fiber characteristics. However, it surpasses Barakat in both fineness and strength (34-41 HVI). The majority of this variety is cultivated in Gezira using irrigation methods, with the cotton being hand-picked and roller-ginned. 2. Barac (67) Acala This cotton is of medium staple length and is processed using both roller and saw ginning methods. The variety is renowned for its favorable micronaire value (3.8 - 4.2) and vibrant color. 3.

Hamid (BB - 82) Hamid is a cultivar with a moderate plant density, producing high yields and maturing early. It has an open canopy structure. Hamid is highly suitable for integrated Crop Management, with a recommended plant spacing of 28.0 mm.
