Sudan and South Sudan Food and Drink Report Q2 2013
Report description
Sudan has some structural advantages in terms of private consumption that are likely to bolster growth in this segment of the economy over the long term. The population is quite young (with more than 50% younger than 20 and 40% younger than 15), and this will provide a larger pool of consumers as they grow into adulthood and reach peak consumption years. Furthermore, as more people enter the workforce, a greater pool of wage earners has the potential to bolster household income, providing greater ability to buy goods and services.
However, over the medium term these factors will be blunted by significant obstacles. First and foremost is exorbitant inflation, which has decimated consumers' purchasing power. Year-on-year (y-o-y) headline price growth has risen for nine consecutive months, reaching 42.1% in August 2012, the most recent month for which data are available. Food inflation, which accounts for a large share of the consumer price index basket, is nearly as high, reaching 41.6% y-o-y. Sudan suffers from chronic food insecurity, and adverse weather conditions, coupled with the high global price of food due to poor conditions in the world's main exporting countries, has seen prices of staples soar.
