الملخص

Sudan as one of the developing countries depends on agriculturalproduction and exports. Cotton was a backbone of Sudan economyin the past, but it lost its economic importance due to fluctuation incultivated areas, productivity and production. Cotton’s contributionto the export revenue had dropped from about 55% during theseventies to about 22% in early 1990s and to 3% in 2000s.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the profitability andcompetitiveness of cotton production in the Gezira scheme whichcontributed about 65% of cotton production of Sudan. The studydepended on secondary data of six seasons (2002-2007) for the twomain varieties of cotton, Barakat and Acala.To asses the competitiveness of cotton and quantifying its privateand economic profitability, and the incidence of taxation andsubsidies policy, a Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) as a quantitativeaccounting tool was used for financial and economical analysis ofcotton production.The results showed that, the Gezira scheme had a competitiveadvantage in cotton production, and the resources were usedefficiently and the production and exports of the two varieties ofcotton are profitable. The results indicated that the two varieties ofcotton had a competitive advantage in both absolute and relativeterms, but Barakat variety had a higher private profitability thanAcala variety.The study recommended that the government should provide moreincentives to producers through sound price policy to encourageefficient production, and adopt new technology in production,packaging, and ginning.
