The South Sudanese agricultural sector is characterized by a subsistence-based approach, low productivity, a lack of infrastructure and market institutions, low levels of technology and inputs, and a high degree of rainfall sensitivity. Specifically, rain-fed subsistence agriculture and complete reliance on forests as a source of energy and other environmental goods and services are two factors that contribute to 95% of the population's dependence on climate-sensitive natural resources. In order to increase South Sudan's overall economic well-being, the agricultural sector's productivity performance is crucial. In the past, there have been several factors that have limited agricultural productivity, including a lack of improved or hybrid seed availability, a lack of seed multiplication capacity, low fertilizer profitability and efficiency, a lack of irrigation infrastructure development, a lack of transportation infrastructure, market accessibility issues, and a high prevalence of soil degradation and infertile soil. The aim of this review is to examine the challenges and risks facing the agriculture sector and the future prospects in South Sudan.
