The Crown
Jewel
Swaan Valley Agriculture
Sudan's legacy as an agricultural powerhouse dates back thousands of years. With its fertile lands along the Nile, the country has long been a centre for cotton cultivation, sesame farming and gum Arabic production.
Our cotton farms in Sudan and Tanzania are managed using eco-friendly techniques, ensuring soil conservation, efficient water use and ethical labour practices. Our focus on sustainability extends from seed to final product, embedding responsible agriculture into every stage of our supply chain.
The Cotton Lifecycle
From Field to Fabric
Soil Preparation & Planting
Cotton seeds are carefully selected and sown in the fertile lands of Sudan and Tanzania. Sustainable irrigation and soil enrichment techniques ensure strong yields.
Growth & Cultivation
Pest-resistant strains and organic fertilisation techniques improve cotton quality while preserving natural ecosystems.
Harvesting
Cotton is handpicked or machine-harvested depending on location, with Tanzanian farmers traditionally using handpicking for finer fibre preservation.
Ginning & Processing
Our ginning plants in Sudan and Egypt separate cotton fibres from seeds, ensuring high purity and minimal waste.
Yarn Production
Cotton is transformed into different yarn types, supplying textile industries worldwide.
Our Diverse Crops
Alongside cotton, we also cultivate sesame, gum Arabic, groundnuts and watermelon seeds, all produced under responsible agricultural frameworks to promote soil health and biodiversity.
