Experts say estimates from drought-stricken Brazil are that this year ’s harvest could be down by some 12% . Experts say excelsa will have to be shown to be practical at a much larger scale to bridge the gap in the market.

Despite a peace deal in 2018 that ended a five-year civil war, pockets of fighting persist in South Sudan .

Tensions in Western Equatoria are especially high after the president removed the governor in February , sparking anger among his supporters.
