Al Qadarif State
Al Qadarif (Arabic: القضارف Al Qaḍārif), also spelled Gedaref or Gadarif, is one of the 18 wilayat (states) of Sudan. It covers an area of 75,263 km2 and had an estimated population of approximately 2,208,385 as of 2018.It borders Kassala to the north, Khartoum to the northwest, Gezira to the west, Sennar to the south, Ethiopia and Eritrea to the east. Al Qadarif is the state’s capital, with other notable towns including Doka and Gallabat. The state also encompasses the disputed Al Fushqa District.
Gedaref State in Sudan is home to a diverse population consisting of various ethnic groups, including members of numerous tribes. Additionally, individuals from regions outside Sudan—such as Eritrea, Ethiopia, Yemen, Somalia, Chad, Egypt (including Copts), Armenia, and Kurdistan—contribute to its multicultural fabric. This intricate social structure has evolved over time due to historical migrations during the period of Turkish rule and the Mahdist Revolution, as well as changes in the state's agricultural practices.
The state is a natural geographical area situated on the slopes of the Ethiopian plateau, descending towards rivers, valleys, and water-filled creeks. It is characterized by fertile clay soil, interspersed with occasional hills, which enhances its agricultural potential.
The state can be divided into three distinct geomorphic regions:
The state is distinguished by its land, which is highly suitable for agriculture. It hosts some of Sudan's largest rainfed agricultural projects, utilizing mechanized equipment such as tractors and combine harvesters that depend on rainfall. The state also features large-capacity silos for grain storage. Additionally, Al Qadarif boasts the largest market for private crops, including sesame and sorghum.
The state is considered a strategic center for food security in Sudan. Agriculture, primarily reliant on rain for irrigation, is the main economic activity. Trade and services along the borders with Ethiopia and Eritrea also play a significant role in the state's economy. The introduction of mechanized agricultural methods in 1945 significantly expanded arable land to 7,162,133 hectares, while 2,376,563 hectares of forest contribute to the production of gum arabic.[citation needed]
The distribution of agricultural areas is as follows:
Agricultural projects in this region primarily depend on rainfed irrigation and rainfall. Notable projects include Um Settat, sesame cultivation, Alvhqh, Labadi, and several others. The Rahad Agricultural Project uses irrigation from the Rahad and Blue Nile Rivers for both agricultural and industrial purposes.
