Speaker: Bashir Ibrahim Abakar (University of Gadaref)
This study investigates how gender inequality restricts women farmers’ marketing of agricultural products in West Galabat locality, Gadarif state, Sudan. Unequal power dynamics concentrated in socio-cultural, economic, and institutional structures produce inequalities between women and men, which implicate women’s marketing in the agricultural markets. These include inequality in the burden of domestic tasks and negative community perceptions of women’s participation in marketing agricultural products; inequality in land ownership and the scale of cultivated land; inequalities in financial and savings capacities; and men’s domination of agricultural products markets. As a result, several challenges face women in marketing agricultural products. These include women producing and supplying small quantities of products, participating less in the sale of agricultural products, having less influence on agricultural products markets, lacking access to market information, having less capacity to compete with brokers and traders, and selling their products at low prices.
