# ‘Trade monopoly’ pushes-up grain prices in eastern Sudan - Dabanga Radio TV Online

> Sudan's Dabanga reports that sorghum and sesame prices in El Gedaref have risen to SDG 1,000 per ardab. Farmers blame a small number of traders controlling the market, after the government sold its stocks to merchants earlier in the year. Rain damage to government-held sorghum also reduced available supply.

## Why it matters

This is a local Sudanese market story with little effect on world sorghum prices. It shows tight domestic supply and trader concentration in a sorghum-importing region.
