South Sudan: James Alic Garang, Senior Economic analyst at Ebony Center and Associate Professor at the Upper Nile University , said the unrest reduced South Sudan ability to trade internationally, becoming a net food importer and single-commodity exporter, according to Xinhua China. Alic said South Sudan plans to immediately begin agriculture sector investments and industrialization as an optional entry point into the world markets all failed to take off. The conflict dimmed the young nation reputation among-st existing and prospective investors, making it difficult to tap South Sudan enormous natural resources. The country planned to embark on fish exports, timber and bulk agriculture production. Alic said the unrest left enormous and largely untapped natural resources across the country. The civil conflict widely displaced human labour, disrupting South Sudan agriculture sector, forcing foreign donors to repeatedly declare a hunger emergency.
