Sudan‑Origin Gum Arabic

Production Process

Our integrated platform takes raw gum arabic from Sudan and transforms it step‑by‑step into high‑value products. Each stage is transparent and engineered for quality and traceability.

Behind each step lies decades of experience. From careful cleaning and inspection to size classification, our engineers apply precision and consistency. Dedicated process lines for food, pharma and industrial grades prevent cross‑contamination and allow us to tailor the final powder or granules to specification.

Environmental management and sustainability are baked into every operation – filtered air, water reuse and clean‑in‑place (CIP) systems keep the plant efficient while protecting the environment and maintaining product purity.

1. Raw material intake: gum arabic nodules are carefully sorted, inspected and cleaned upon arrival.
2. Cleaning & pre‑processing: vibratory cleaners, air separation and metal detection remove impurities.
3. Crushing & classification: particle sizes are controlled through milling and sieving to meet specification.
4. Line separation: food‑grade, pharmaceutical‑grade (GMP) and industrial materials follow dedicated process lines.
5. Final processing: drying and micronisation produce powder or granules ready for packaging and shipment.

Products & Applications

Impact on Sudan

This project preserves Sudan’s status as the exclusive origin of raw gum arabic while unlocking higher value for producers. By processing outside of Sudan, we shield the origin from political and logistic risk while ensuring revenue flows back to farmers and the country’s economy.

• Value uplift through certified processing – 2.5 to 4× value per tonne compared with raw export.
• Stable offtake contracts provide predictable income and price stability.
• Knowledge transfer and future local industrialisation remain key priorities.

We work closely with producer cooperatives and local authorities to guarantee fair compensation, environmental stewardship and reinvestment in community infrastructure. Our long‑term vision includes building capabilities in Sudan for downstream processing and skilled employment.

Beyond economic value, we invest in training, education and health programmes, support sustainable acacia tree management and collaborate on initiatives that build resilience against climate change. This is a partnership designed to secure a brighter future for Sudan’s gum arabic communities.

About the Platform

Unlike a trading model, our platform integrates each part of the value chain to capture the full worth of gum arabic. Processing in Türkiye’s Mersin Free Zone pairs access to global trade lanes with a business‑friendly environment. Sudan retains origin rights while we ensure product quality and regulatory compliance.

This structure allows us to deliver superior products, manage risk and build long‑term relationships with partners.

The project was designed by Bewell Global’s expert team, bringing together engineering, supply chain, regulatory and market specialists. Their mission is to transform Sudan’s natural resource into a high‑value ingredient portfolio for global industries while uplifting local communities.

The team’s multidisciplinary expertise spans process design, quality management, logistics, finance and community engagement. By working closely with Sudanese partners and international customers, Bewell Global ensures that each stage of the platform is executed to the highest standards while remaining grounded in the communities it serves.
