Livestock
Sudan is very much known of being ranked among the highest in the world in terms of livestock population given its vast arable and pasture lands which make the cost of the feeding very cheap. Millions heads of cattle, sheep, goats and camels are distributed in all Regions of the Sudan. The country is also blessed with a great quantity of wildlife, fisheries and poultry. Many small and medium- scales factories of meat and milk production, slaughter houses, Poultry and wools are in place and provide the domestic market’s consumptions and exports.
