The Head of the Council of Guar commodity Badr Al Din Abu Zeid has told Sudan Vision yesterday that Sudan has been nominated to close the world gap of guar commodity estimated at 200 thousand tons.
He said the United States needs 150 thousand tons of manufactured guar powder after it has excluded during past few days the commodities of guar and sesame from the sanctions it imposed on Sudan.
Abu Zeid added that the council has exerted efforts and intensive meetings with the American Embassy to Khartoum in the presence of the members of Guar Council for opening new markets for guar and for directly exporting it to the United States of America,
He affirmed that an agreement was concluded for overcoming the sanctions emanating from trade embargo last June, noting that the American Embassy has expressed true desire for cooperating with productive companies and extended an invitation to the guar council to visit America to get acquainted with the American experience in guar cultivation and the machines used in harvesting and cultivation.
It is worth noting that the demand for Guar gum has risen considerably due to the strong demand from the oil exploration industry.
Gum is used as an adhesive during oil exploration. It is also used by the food and textile industry.
Pakistan, Sudan and India are the only countries that produce Guar gum. Guar seed is the basic raw material that is required for producing it.
The guar plant has been the source of the guar gum additive the food industry uses to thicken foods or keep various ingredients smoothly mixed together. It’s in everything from frozen pizza to ice cream, egg white substitutes and baked goods.
A few years ago, the price peaked at about 35 times what the cost of the plant product was just a few years earlier.Sudan Vision Daily - Details
