Sudan recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the United Arab Emirates for a large agricultural project linked by a road to a new port to be built on the Red Sea, the Sudanese Finance Minister said.

Turkey is exploring opportunities to lease farmlands in 10 counties in Africa and Latin America to grow crops to boost agricultural production amid growing global concerns over food security. Authorities have been exploring such opportunities in 10 nations, besides Venezuela and Sudan.

Turkey has been planning since 2014 to meet a significant portion of its food needs by cultivating farmland leased in Sudan but lands have yet to be allocated and there are no staff working at the project's agricultural company.

In Uganda, land grabbed by local land brokers are immediately handed over to foreign companies, which then often grow the same crops as the villagers were growing before they were evicted.

La Turquie a le droit d’exploiter 100 mille hectares de terres agricoles soudanaises, selon un accord entre Ankara et Khartoum.

At a bilateral meeting, Sudan and Turkey reiterate the agreement giving Turkish companies an initial 100,000 hectares of lands in Sudan for agricultural projects, with the promise of a further 700,000 hectares.

The stolen land belonged to families that are part of the 35000 people being forcefully displaced by three multinational companies including Great Seasons SMC Limited, Agilis Partners Limited, and Kiryandongo Sugar Limited.

The abduction of villagers is part of the wider use of violence orchestrated by the police who are working for investors including Great Seasons SMC Limited and it is linked to the community’s resistance to a land grab.

Great Seasons SMC limited, owned by a Sudan investor based in Dubai, is one of three multinational companies evicting communities off their land for agribusiness investments without any legal process.
