1 / Gum Arabic is not an agricultural crop, but rather a defensive plan from the plant to lock wounds and resist moisture loss, and therefore it is an environmental product.
2 / Production depends on environmental factors, including temperature, relative humidity, rate of rain, sunrise, wind speed, presence of the insect, and traditional knowledge that people possess.
3 / Based on that, the production of gum Arabic from Hashab in particular depends on the climate and the knowledge heritage available in Sudan with a high degree of efficiency.
4 / Sudan participates ten countries in the Arab-African gum belt that extends from Somalia and Ethiopia in the east to Nigeria in the west, passing through the group of countries in Chad, Cameroon, Central Africa, Mali, Niger, Mauritania, South Sudan, and even Kenya … etc.
5 / Twenty thousand acacia trees are sufficient only to produce ten tons of gum Arabic in the event of complete success at a rate of production of half a kilo of the tree … and the amount of ten tons may be sent by a group of exporters from here as free samples.
6 / Sudan has thirty-one types of cache trees. Hashab is one of these types, which includes Talha, cutter, brown, sial, acacia, acacia, etc.
7 / Hashab cultivation is not suitable for the purposes of producing gum Arabic in the conditions of industrial irrigation, but rather irrigation in rain and within the geographical climate in the north referred to and confined between latitudes 14 – 12, bearing in mind that two-thirds of the gum girdle is located inside Sudan.
8 / There have been previous attempts to transfer the experience of producing gum Arabic to other countries, but they did not succeed even in the belt states, let alone the countries outside the gum Arabic belt …
