Markets and Trade

  • Food security conditions are likely to deteriorate during the lean season and Emergency (IPC Phase 4) food security outcomes are likely in the Sudanese People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) controlled areas of Blue Nile and South Kordofan from June to September. This is due to reduced access to food and income, restricted access to humanitarian assistance, restricted trade flow to SPLM-N controlled areas, diminishing asset holding, and increased susceptibility to waterborne diseases.
  • Improved relations between Sudan and South Sudan via the recent agreements have been beneficial to food security in both countries to date. Nomadic cattle herders have started crossing the border for grazing in South Sudan, alleviating high cattle mortality due to pasture and water deficits. Informal trade flow from Sudan to South Sudan has also increased, as well as oil exports to Sudan. Oil revenues are likely to reduce foreign currency deficits facing both countries and curb inflation and local currency devaluation.
