The cut in edible oil import duties could ease costs for makers of biscuits, noodles and fried snacks, but cheaper packs may not follow immediately. Analysts said the benefit would take time to flow through to manufacturers, with companies likely to first use the savings to recover margins squeezed by higher input costs. The changes, effective Thursday, cut the basic customs duty on crude palm and soybean oils from 10% to 5%, and on crude sunflower oil from 10% to nil. Duties on their refined varieties were also reduced.

Sudan is much like the peanut itself—originating as a humble legume in Bolivia and evolving over centuries into the modern peanut we know today. Both are resilient, time-tested, and remarkably enduring.Like the Sudanese people, Sudan’s peanut industry has demonstrated extraordinary resilience. Even with limited external support, the country has sustained its standing as one of the world’s great peanut-producing nations.Man-made distortions may have temporarily disrupted its position, but they do not define it. The fundamentals remain—the land, the peanut, the knowledge, and above all, the Sudanese people. Together, they are far greater than the disruptions surrounding them.Looking at the peanut crop through the different lenses of its origins is always fascinating. Sudan’s story is particularly compelling.Enjoy the read.
