The Ministry of Finance revealed a trend to put Sudan's share of tuna in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean in an official tender, with the aim of achieving the largest economic return possible, after completing the necessary legal and legislative procedures.

This came during a coordination meeting held by the Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, Dr. Jibril Ibrahim, with the Minister of Livestock and Fisheries, A.D. Ahmed Al Mansouri, at the Ministry of Finance, where the two sides discussed opportunities for Sudan to benefit from its share of tuna determined by the International Organization for Tuna Fisheries Management.

The meeting stressed the importance of tightening the legal and legislative situation related to the exploitation of the quota, in order to ensure the achievement of the desired benefit and maximize the return to the benefit of the Sudanese economy.

The Minister of Finance stressed the government's interest in supporting the projects of the Ministry of Livestock, within the framework of the state's direction to strengthen the productive sectors, pointing out to seek to build investment partnerships and attract external financing for projects, with a focus on livestock production cities directed to exports, as well as enhancing the health of the national herd, which contributes to increasing Sudan's exports of livestock products.

The meeting discussed a number of emergency projects for the ministry, including the rehabilitation of factories, quarries and dairy production projects, where the two sides agreed to support them in accordance with the priorities set by the Ministry of Livestock.

The Ministry of Finance also stressed its efforts to pay the contributions due to Sudan to international organizations working in the field of animal health, in order to enhance the country's benefit from the services and expertise provided by those organizations.
