الملخص EN

The study examined the current and future demand of wheat through analyzing the factors that affect demand for wheat in Sudan during the period (1990-2014).

The study problem stemmed from the growing demand for wheat as a substitute for sorghum leading to a huge gap between its consumption and demand.

Accordingly, importing wheat to fill in this gap constitutes a continuous drain on Sudan limited resources of foreign currency, thus leading the country to think seriously about filling this gap from domestic production.

The study depended on the integration between several research methods; hence, the study adopted the descriptive methodology for the identification and determination of the causes of the problem, the econometric method in the applied aspect, and the inductive method in drawing conclusions.

The study indicated the existence of a statistical significant adverse relationship between the price of wheat and the quantity demanded of wheat; also, the existence of a statistically significant positive relationship between income and the quantity demanded of wheat; in addition, the presence of a statistically significant positive relationship between time and quantity demanded of wheat.

The study most important recommendations call for the state to subsidize wheat farmers in order to increase the production of cereals especially wheat.
