Story details

The Sudan News Agency (SUNA) reported from Singa on 10 October that Sennar’s Ministry of Production and Economic Resources had received 28,000 litres of Quile pesticide at a stated concentration of 60%. The supply came from the federal Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation through its General Directorate of Plant Protection.

A state ministry director said the delivery was intended to support efforts against starling birds and protect the agricultural season. SUNA reported the arrival of the stock, not its later use. The article gives no application volume, treatment area, crop-loss estimate, procurement price or campaign outcome, so the delivery cannot be taken as evidence of pest reduction.
