The objective of the Revitalizing the Sudan Gum Arabic Production and Marketing Project is to increase the income of small-scale gum Arabic producers in selected areas of the gum Arabic belt through improved performance of the production and marketing systems. The extension is necessary to complete the study on global market conditions and to allow for provision of basic services in production areas and development of potential auction markets and investment opportunities. The additional 12 months would include analysis of the interventions in auction marketing and the market information system, and will allow strengthening of arrangements for operation and maintenance of basic infrastructure in targeted communities and production sites. The client has put in place an action plan and approved procurement plans to complete and deliver the different components of the project.
