The Gum Arabic Marketing Cooperative (GAMCS) supports smallholder producers across South Sudan by providing training in sustainable tapping methods, quality control, and collective marketing. The cooperative ensures fair pricing, access to regional and international markets, and helps members meet export standards for food, pharmaceutical, and industrial buyers.

Gum arabic is harvested from Acacia trees, then sorted, cleaned and classified to meet buyer specifications. Local processing focuses on hygienic handling and traceability, creating jobs and promoting environmental stewardship while providing a reliable supply chain for export markets.

GAMC focuses on building sustainable market channels for gum arabic producers and improving livelihoods across rural South Sudan. Initiatives include cooperative strengthening, quality assurance training, buyer linkages for export markets, and support for local value-added processing to boost incomes and create jobs.
