Sudan · 1965 · 10m, 20m, 50m

This definitive set of three stamps from Sudan highlights key agricultural industries. The 10m stamp depicts a worker picking cotton, the 20m shows a worker tapping a tree for gum arabic, and the 50m features a modern cotton gin. The designs emphasize the importance of these commodities to the Sudanese economy.

Issued in 1965, these stamps reflect Sudan's focus on economic development and its primary agricultural exports following its independence in 1956. Cotton and gum arabic were cornerstones of the nation's economy during this post-colonial period.
