Abstract:The Rahad Scheme is one of the large new agricultural projects in the Sudan. Production of irrigated groundnuts and cotton is highly mechanised. Weather conditions, lack of labourers for weeding and cotton picking, as well as insufficient spare parts supply create large problems for cultivation. The success of plant protection measures is insufficient. The average yields are rather low and the prospects of profitable production are unfavourable. Ref., sum.
