Cotton (Sudan)

Cotton (Sudan)
COTTON
Sudan. The Sudan is considered by many experts to be by far the most hopeful cotton growing area within the Empire. With an area almost half that of India, large tracts are available and suitable for cotton growing. These vary from the high rainfall area of Southern Sudan, where American cotton can be grown, to the large Gezira lying between the Blue and White Niles, suitable for growing Egyptian cotton by irrigation.
