SUGANIC is a non-political, non-religious, commercial initiative to expand western, farming practices into post conflict regions like South Sudan. The project is the brainchild of a dedicated group of individuals from Medea Group.
Global food prices have risen more than 75% in the last three years. Post conflict regions like South Sudan are at even more risk because of the overwhelming need for food assistance from organizations like the World Food Program (WFP). Economic development will help build South Sudan's economy to provide physical and economic security for its citizens. Suganic has been designed in three distinct phases of development.
Phase I: During the initial planning year, the Suganic team will focus on the design and launch of commercial farming to support large scale food production to support the local population. Our groal within three years is to open 10 communal farms, one in each of the 10 districts of "New" South Sudan helping to resettle up to 50,000 refugees and IDPs. Each farm will not only produce food for the local marketplace but foster community and micro-finance development by incubating new commerical investment.
Phase III: Suganic's farms will eventually evolve into an internationally certified, globally recognized, "CSR" brand - "Made in Sudan." Fresh and processed agricultural products will be exported internationally to Australia, Western Europe, North American, and Japan.
This unique approach to development and economic stabilization welcomes the integration of NGO programming to leverage humanitarian aid where it works best, from within established communities.
