The livestock sector in Sudan faces significant challenges due to the El Niño phenomenon and ongoing drought, leading to the deterioration of natural pastures, water resource shortages, and declines in fodder production. As a result, there has been livestock mortality and rising meat prices. The livestock population is estimated to be between 111 and 140 million head by the end of 2025. The sector accounts for approximately 20% of the GDP and employs around 40% of the population. Meat and livestock exports have sharply declined to about $471 million in 2025, due to security disruptions and difficulties accessing markets and ports. This situation increases pressures on food security, threatens the sustainability of the sector, and sparks conflicts over resources between farmers and herders. Experts recommend urgent measures such as securing grazing routes, rehabilitating water sources, planting drought-resistant fodder, and vaccinating animals to reduce livestock mortality and mitigate the economic and social impacts of this crisis.
