Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Some nine million acres of agricultural land are set to be cultivated to boost production and food security in Sudan\u2019s South Darfur State, authorities have said.<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s Council of Ministers in its regular meeting on Saturday chaired by Acting Governor Salah Ismail Al-Mawj in Kass locality discussed the report on the 2024 agricultural and pastoral season, according to State Minister of Agriculture Hammad Mohammed Musa Matar.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe meeting addressed the preparations for this year’s agricultural and pastoral season,\u201d the Minister told Radio Tamazuj at the weekend. \u201cThe state heavily relies on the success and security of the agricultural season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mohammed explained that this year’s plan targets cultivation across all 21 localities of the state and said the requirements like fuel, agricultural machinery, fertilizers and pesticides, and spraying equipment had been procured.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have mobilized all farmers in the state to ensure the success of the agricultural season,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe have also coordinated with international organizations working in the agricultural and pastoral field like FAO, the Arab Organization for Agricultural Development, CARE, World Vision, and ZOA.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Minister Mohammed, the state\u2019s agricultural plan focuses on cultivating food security crops, specifically millet and sorghum, with three million acres allocated for millet and two and a half million acres for sorghum, in addition to peanuts.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that they have made necessary arrangements to secure the agricultural season by combatting pests which contributed to the failure of last year\u2019s crop.<\/p>\n
