A running campaign to confront locust swarms in the Red Sea State is conducting in coordination with Egypt and Eritrea, an official at the Sudanese Ministry of Agriculture said Wednesday.
Khedr Jibril said there were enough equipment and pesticides enough for confrontation efforts.
He said the confrontation campaign began in October and lasted for April every year, adding the government had specialized squads for tacking the issue.
An adult desert locust, it has been estimated, can consume its weight in vegetation daily. A typical swarm can eat as much as 2,500 people can in a single day. And a large swarm—one that stretches for tens of miles and includes millions (or even billions) of hungry locusts—can strip a farmer's field in minutes and leave entire villages with nothing to eat.
