Sudan banned Egyptian agricultural and animal products to access its land on Tuesday, and it stated that any goods that enter Sudan through Egypt (even if coming from another nation) are to be diverted directly to Sudan and not cross Egyptian borders. Egyptian sources said that Sudan’s decision is mainly political due to tensions between Cairo and Khartoum during the last period. There are no problems with the Egyptian products exported to them. A source at the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture said that Sudan renewed the ban on the entry of vegetables, fruits, and fish imported from Egypt at the beginning of May. Sources from Egyptian companies exporting products to Sudan said that they will study the situation and how to overcome the problem in the coming days.
