Sudanese farmers warn that the conflict involving Iran is creating fresh pressure on the country’s already fragile agricultural production. With Sudan still facing ongoing fighting between the army and the RSF paramilitary, food security remains strained, and disruptions to inputs further threaten harvests. Multiple reports say the Iran-related conflict contributes to higher global fuel and fertilizer costs, which in turn forces farmers to scale back on summer planting. The effect is described as particularly acute in Sudan, where increased operational costs make it harder to buy fuel for farming activities and fertilizer for crops. One report cites United Nations data indicating Sudan relies heavily on fertilizer imports from the Persian Gulf region, meaning disruptions or price changes tied to the wider conflict can quickly translate into reduced availability and higher costs locally. Overall, the sources describe a worsening outlook for food production in a country already affected by war-related instability and acute hunger, with farmers pointing to input price hikes as a direct driver of reduced planting plans for the upcoming season.
