Khartoum International Fair 2014
The first week of February saw the 31st International Trade Fair of Khartoum, held at the well-manicured fairground in Burri. For 31 years, Sudan has annually presented its goods and manufacturing to the world. From peanut oil and sugar cane to henna, petroleum and automobiles, every industry with the “Made in Sudan” stamp is represented here. Amidst all the unrest and social problems in this country, it is a time to remember and show the world exactly what Sudan has to be proud of when it comes to trade and business. This year there were also many international exhibitors, showcasing for instance technologies from Japan, Austria and Italy. The atmosphere was celebratory, and families and businessmen could enjoy an array of refreshments in between browsing the stands. Mabrook, Sudan!
