This stamp celebrates the backbone of Sudan's historic forestry economy, natural resources, and rural livelihoods by illustrating a worker tapping an Acacia senegal tree in an expansive woodland setting. The subject centers on the production of Gum Arabic, a precious natural resin harvested primarily in the Kordofan region, for which Sudan has long been the world's leading exporter.
