Back
in the Market: Darfurian Farmers Go back to Cultivation
of Hibiscus
Some of Darfur’s
poorest farmers are being given the chance to
benefit from the growing global demand for hibiscus,
with a new United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP) pilot project, designed to improve cultivation
techniques for hibiscus production.
The hibiscus flower forms the major ingredient
of many fruit teas and Sudan is known for producing
high quality crops. About half of Sudan’s
total hibiscus production is exported, mainly
to Germany. The rest being used domestically
in popular drinks such as Karkadeh, a sweetened
deep red cordial made from the flower.
