Saluka Agriculture along the Nile - 5 piastre

This stamp highlights Sudan's traditional agricultural crafts, riverine economy, and cooperative farming heritage by depicting a line of farmers planting crops in the fertile Nile mud using a saluka (traditional wooden digging stick). The theme focuses on ancestral food production methods used for millennia during the bilaq (recession agriculture) phase as the annual Nile floodwaters retreated, leaving behind rich, moist soil.
