Food Security Technical Secretariat
The Red Sea State quarterly food security bulletin
(October – December 2014)
Bulletin No (6)
December 2014
Highlights/summary
The months of October, November and
December are classified as therein
season in the State and particularly in
Port Sudan and surrounding areas;
hence livestock migration from other
Localities and neighboring States in
search of pasture is very common.
This season, sales of animals were
described to be below normal in most
local markets due to availability of
fodder.
Generally speaking, during the period of
October to December 2014,
There have been no reports of
epidemics or outbreak of serious
diseases. However, according to health
workers at rural hospitals and health
units, the main reported cases in these
three months includeARI, malaria, eye
infection, diarrhea, measles, etc.
.Sorghum prices have started the
seasonal gradual decline from a number
of localities falling from SDG 400 per
sack in October to 250/sack in
December in Sinkat and in Port Sudan
from as low as 300/sack in October to
a pit lower price of 260/sack SDG in
December.
Agricultural sectoristhe main pillar for
sustainable development and food
security in the country
Estimates of arable landaroundthe state
(1273361) acres spread
overdifferentlocalities, mainly
TokarDelta, which has an area of
406,000acres, a landofhigh fertility.
Livestock production in the State contributes significantly to the Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) and to the food security of the State. It is mainly
nomadic, based on free utilization of rangelands through seasonal
movements. Due to the long distances covered, the productivity is rather
low. The semi nomadic pastoral system in Red Sea State is based on the
utilization of crop residues remaining from rain fed agriculture in the
Savannah region, as well arson natural grazing in the area, and the
sedentary one is based on sheep and goats raised in small villages in all
localities of the State. The major constraints facing livestock rearing in the
State include feed shortage, overgrazing Desertification, lack of breed
resources and lack of adequate veterinary services.
The agricultural sector remains one of the main pillars for sustainable
development and food security in the country. Estimates of the states’
arable land is around 1,273,361 Fadden spread over different localities, but
mainly in Tokar Delta which has an area of406, 000feddanof high fertility
land.
With regards to the reported high malnutrition in the state, there are
many reasons and interrelated factors that lead to the emergence of such
malnutrition of various kinds, including drought, ignorance and lack of
knowledge and awareness, false beliefs and current global economic
situation as well as the dispersion of the population in some rural areas,
making it difficult to access services feeding them, and work to raise
awareness and correct misconceptions and distance. NB. For investigating
the socio-economic factors behind the high malnutrition rate in the State a
research sponsored by the SFP&SCBP is under process.

 The Red Sea State Food Security and Nutrition Technical Secretariat (RSSFSTS) receive weekly
market price updates from all the ten Localities including the State Capital, Port Sudan using a
standard methodology that ensures accuracy and impartiality. Food security has improved in
November as main harvests become available as well as income from cash crop sales. The
seasonal decline of cereal prices is also likely to improve access to food through market
purchase. Livestock to cereal terms of trade will also improve. Food prices remained falling
downwards in most Localities due to mainly an increase of the production. Significant Drop in
the temperatures were Recorded during the month of November most parts of the state.
According to RSSFSTS, improved rainfall in most parts of the state since August has
enabled farmers to plant more land resulting more production. Along the Red Sea cost
area drop in temperature and partly cloudy to cloudy with 4-5 days of rainfall in Port Sudan
was observed.

localities falling from SDG 400 per sack in
October to 250/sack in December in Sinkat
and in Port Sudan from as low as 300/sack in
October to a pit lower price of 260/sack SDG
in December.
Similarly, in Suakin Sorghum price dropped
from 450/sack SDG in October to 280/sack in
December, and in Halaib drop from 430/sack in
October to 320/sack in December. With regards
to Mogod, prices have Increase example, from
SDG 333/sack in October to 345/sack in
December in Port Sudan. And in Sinkat Mogod
price has dropped from 430 per sack in
October to 390/sack in December . And this
can be attributed to agood harvest and
improved transport. Similarly, Wheat prices
have slightly fallen in Sinkat from SDG 200 per
sack in October to 160/sack in December. And
in Halaib Locality dropped from 143/sack in
October to SDG 115/sack in December, on the

200/sack in October to 210/sack in December
in Port Sudan. “Expected more than this price
drop in coming month.


Livestock Condition:-
The livestock condition is noticed very well due to available of rich pastures and water
resources.

Lack of adequate of veterinary extension:-
For the above mention reason the World Food Program (WFP) is established to implement many
activity to enhance the extension sector by holding more training for CARDA and veterinary
staff.

Artificial Insemination:-
In spite of lack of breed resources and lack of adequate veterinary services, the State
is demonstrated the artificial insemination project. There were 9 cows artificially
inseminated and 21 cows had burned (21 kids). This means the owners had adopted
the new methodology or new idea.
Livestock Vaccination:Second dehorning campaigns started at 16/12/2014 ( ongoing ) by veterinary department in
both Toker and Agig localities targeting 15600heads of milky goats/ sheeps.
Feed Shortage:Feed Shortage is the main strain faced in this state, for this reason the emergency project / FAO
had distribution of 651 MT of kenana fodder in Agig and Toker localities. On the other side
17,5MT of mineral salt licks delivered to AbuHadia and WHH IN Toker and Agig localities
respectively to be distributed to the targeted 28 villages in both localities.
Gender Balance:86 women trained in food processing and nutrition by ( Extension unit at state level and MoH
nutrition department at locality level trainers) .Oslo nutrition awareness session to targeted
communities organized by our implementing partners SRCS,Abu Hadia and WHH and carried out
by nutrition speclalistists at localities levels in Haya, Toker and Agig. Total attendance was 6402
from them 4133 were woman.1212men 1057child.( emergency program project/ FAO)
Capacity Building :Funding training costs for 3participants nominated by DG sMoA to attend the livestock

Fisheries Production:-

Fresh Fish Imported:-
The Marine fresh Fish imported between October to December Month 2014 amounted to 28566
ton In October and 93000 ton in November2014. On the other hand, imported fresh Fish has
increased sharply to double compared to last reporting period of April- September 2014.

Ornamental Fish Export:-
The ornamental fish exported between Octobers to December2014 amounted to 3130 pieces in
October month and 5640 pieces in November 2014. The export of ornamental fish has, however
increased about 80% compared to last month.

The Marine Fish Fresh Exported:-
The marine fresh fish exported between Octobers to December2014 amounted to 10ton in
November and zero export in October 2014. The export of marine fresh fish has decreased
sharply to ten ton compared to last reporting period of April- September2014.
 Suakin Production:Suakin is important site for fish production; it is production is dropped by approximately 20%
(from 23500 ton in October to 18650 ton in November2014).

indicating an increase of 100%.

Nutrition indicators are international standards that define the extent of the development of peoples
and underdevelopment which is considered one of the most important metrics that determine the food
security status. There are many reasons and interrelated factors that lead to malnutrition including:
drought, ignorance and lack of knowledge and awareness, the false beliefs and current global economic
situation as well as the dispersion of the population in some rural areas, making it difficult to access
services feeding them and work to raise awareness and correct misconceptions and distance.

averaged 11.8 %.
He also noted that the highest severe acute malnutrition (SAM) has reached 18.8 % was locality
Dordaib.
Therefore, we find that local Dordaib is the most localities that have a high rate of malnutrition as a
result of the drought and the dispersion of villages and the lack of farmland.
We find that the lowest rate of malnutrition reached 4.2% recorded in the local Halayib
proportion of it commercial border area.
