Presentation on Sudan
Sudan has a weak economy that depends on agriculture and is impacted by political instability. It exports cotton and agricultural products but imports most manufactured goods. Major challenges include ongoing civil war, poverty, and lack of infrastructure. While Sudan has strengths like cheap labor and resource potential, it faces threats such as rising food prices and influence from China that hinders democratic reform. The country hopes to attract foreign investment and expand trade to boost its economic development.
