Exports The value of exports was £E 280,990 in 1911, compared to £E 2,894,400 in 1910. The decrease was £E 34,500, or 12 percent.

Cotton from the 1910-1911 harvest, which was the largest known in Egypt, amounted to 3,925,925 kantars in 1911, which offset most of the deficit resulting from the low exports of the 1911-1912 harvest. Seed exports increased, reaching 3,818,335 ardebs, valued at £E 3,039,000, compared to 2,793,000 ardebs, valued at £E 2,160,000.

In addition to the above, exports of cottonseed cake, sugar cane, gold bullion, ostrich feathers, pulses, natural resins, salt, and hides increased. Exports of hides, disease, gum arabic, wool, eggs, maize, cottonseed oil, fish, ivory, henna, and cotton yarn decreased.

Tobacco Imports of unmanufactured tobacco increased to 7,958,000 kilograms, valued at £E 1,113,100, compared to 7,552,000 kilograms, valued at £E 1,099,500.

Tobacco prices in the producing countries fell, leading to its return to its normal position in the Sudan. Following the shortage in 1910 due to high prices, there was a significant increase in 1911. The progress of the Sudan contributed to this increase.
