Southern Sudan Research Program:
Southern Sudan is one of the most resource-endowed parts of the country. It has rainfall reaching about 1500 mm in the south-most part. It is suitable for growing most tropical crops such as sugar cane, rice, cassava, tea, coffee, pineapple, as well as a wide range of fruits. It is famous for its rich forest resources and other plant and animal diversity. Nonetheless the civil unrest that prevailed in this part of the country since independence prevented the development of Southern Sudan despite the huge natural resources available. This program is intended to be in place once a peace settlement is reached. It gives priority to commodities in which Southern Sudan has a comparative advantage.
