The Sudanese farmers utilizing the extensive Gezira irrigation scheme are confronting a worsening irrigation crisis due to the escalating fuel prices driven by the conflict in Iran. The irrigation scheme, covering nearly 890,000 hectares and relying on water from the Nile channeled through a network of canals from the Sennar Dam, is pivotal to agriculture in Sudan. However, the surge in fuel prices has significantly increased the operating costs for pumping water to the farmers, intensifying the irrigation predicament. This crisis not only imperils the livelihoods of the farmers but also raises concerns about the agricultural output and food security in the region.
