THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, JANUARY 2 Groundnuts
Production
Brings New Importance To The Sudan
Khartoum, Jan. 2.--Brown-skinned, illiterate Sudanese peasants tilling their plots of land with primitive implements are wresting from the scrub- lands of the Central Sudan a crop which is today much in the limelight-groundnuts.
Without the help of publicity, with no public money and no powerful interests to back them, these simple Sudanese farmers in the first 10 months of this year exported 11,000 tons of un- shelled nuts.
But the Sudan Government has no direct in- terest in this production. There is no groundnut "scheme" here and the "industry," carried on entirely by private enterprise, is a peasant one.

It is believed that the President will place it high in the list of foreign measures on which he desires action in his State of the Union speech on Wednesday. Proponents of the plan predicted little real opposition to its enactment.

The Sudanese peasant works the land, either his own or someone else's, to make a living. He grows groundnuts because his ancestors grew them. He also grows other crops, like durra, his native grain.
