Crop deliveries to East Darfur markets have fallen roughly 90 percent from last year, according to a trader in Abu Matarig. Millet, sorghum and groundnut prices have risen five- to sevenfold, and local authorities have restricted bulk grain purchases and transport outside producing areas.
Traders blame poor rainfall and weaker production alongside conflict.
Sharp local shortages and restrictions on grain movement point to tight sorghum and millet supply in Sudan, which could sustain import demand. The effect on international sorghum prices is likely limited because the market is local.
