Sudanese farmers in areas prone to drought now have a drought-tolerant peanut variety that will improve their livelihoods and increase the country’s peanut exports. This new variety has shown up to 27% improvement in yields while needing less water and has the potential to double farmers’ income. It was developed using nuclear techniques with the support of the IAEA, in cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
