Agriculture (7) The Nile in the past agricultural year in Sudan was low, and the rain was very heavy in the northern regions and the Blue Nile region. From this, one can deduce the success of the year compared to the result of the year and the amount of irrigation that took place.

Acres cultivated by artificial irrigation: 15,000 feddans Acres cultivated by flood irrigation: 1,140,000 feddans Acres cultivated by the Nile: 1,140,000 feddans Acres on which taxes were imposed: 15,000 feddans, of which 4,000 feddans were due to hunger. The area of cultivated land increased. This type increased by 15,000 feddans compared to previous years, and 1,140,000 feddans remained under the administration.

It is said in general that Egyptian cotton cultivation is spreading and its yield is sold at a very good price in the lands of the Sudan Cotton Cultivation Company. In the lands of Al-Fadlab, evidence indicates a good future. The season in Kawa and Darra was promising, and the export reached 40,000 qintars, or about half of what was exported in the previous year.

It appears that grains will be the yield on which trade will depend in the near future, as the railway freight rate has been reduced, and they can be sold well in the markets of the Red Sea. Locusts caused great damage to the crops in Berber and Dongola from January onwards. They descended on the White Nile province from April to October, and the loss was considerable despite the efforts made by the province officials. The directors sought the help of the Locust Destruction Law, but the people are not concerned about this matter now. It is hoped that in a short time, the benefit of cooperation in combating this enemy will be realized.
