A big chunk of land in Sudan has been set aside for Korea to invest in crop production, the Sudanese ambassador said.
Ambassador Mohamed Salah Eldin Abbas said 4.2 billion square meters of land in the northern region and 2.7 billion square meters in the central region have been prepared for Korea.
"We are expecting to start cultivation by the end of this year," Abbas said in an interview with The Korea Times.
In total, it will be a little smaller than North Chungcheong Province in size.
