The civil war almost destroyed coffee production.

Sudan's on-off, disastrous 20-year civil war has claimed millions of lives and caused unspeakable damage to rural areas, including the coffee industry.

Robett coffee is now grown in the south as it used to be, while Arabica coffee, which was originally wild, is grown in the north and east of the country.

Historically, Arabs transported blacks from southern Sudan to Arabia as slaves, and slaves brought coffee beans with them to satisfy their hunger. It is said that these coffee beans are also imported into Yemen. It was these unfortunate Sudanese slaves who first began growing coffee that made it the widely grown and traded agricultural product of today.

At present, Sudan's coffee industry is on the verge of extinction, with very little coffee exported.
