Overview
This project aimed to maximize the economic benefits of the cotton crop, which is the most important agricultural produce in the country, and its export is also among the top sources of hard currency income.
In 1976, ADFD had funded the establishment of the cotton yarn factory in Haj Abdullah City, about three hours from the capital Khartoum, through a soft loan of AED 89 million.
This plant has an annual production capacity of 7,700 tones of thick yarn and 2,650 tones of thin yarn. The project cost covered combed spinning equipment, electrical and mechanical equipment and civil works.
The project represented a qualitative addition to the Sudanese textile industry, one of the most dynamic sectors supporting the overall economy, because of its large contribution to the GDP and its role in tipping the balance of trade in favor of Sudan.
