They are a major source of low cost protein for the middle and low income strata of the population. They are also play an important role in sustaining the productivity of the farming systems in the Sudan because of their beneficial effect on the soil through the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen. Production is concentrated in the Northern part of the country (Northern and River Nile states), taking advantage of the relatively cool winter. Faba bean constitutes the main dish on the breakfast and dinner tables for large sector of the population, especially low income groups in the urban areas
