Gum Arabic
Gum Arabic is an exudate of acacia sap with physico-chemical properties that give it many applications in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and other industries. The term gum arabic includes two types of gum: hard gum (hashab in Sudan, kitir in Chad) from acacia senegal and brittle gum (talha) from acacia seyal. These 2 varieties of acacia grow all along the Sudano-Sahelian strip but production and exports are concentrated around a few countries including Sudan (65% of exports from producing countries), Chad (17%), Nigeria (7%) and Mali (5%).
