A Sudanese report warned that famine could worsen and bakeries could close after sorghum prices in Gedaref rose above two million Sudanese pounds per ardeb and a sack of flour reached 200,000 pounds. Farmers and traders blamed the currency's decline, and authorities are struggling to buy crops for the strategic reserve.
The war that began in April 2023 continues, with about 13 million people displaced.
A falling currency is pushing local sorghum and flour prices sharply higher while crop purchasing slows. This shows how currency weakness can drive food inflation in import-dependent, conflict-hit markets, though the impact on global feed prices is small.
