Sudan Rume is an ancient variety which originate from what it is now known as the South Sudan’s Boma Plateau. Its not far from the borders of Ethiopia and this variety still grows’ wildly inthe forest throughout the Boma Plateau. Nowadays, it is mainly cultivated as a source of genetic material for inclusion in hybrids as it shows a surprising resistance to afflictions like the leaf rust and mainly been used for breeding, creating hybrid trees that produce more fruit yield with some of its prized flavor characteristics.

From the commercial perspective, this variety is a very low yielding crop and very sensitive crop and can be considered as hard to cultivate. What we have here is a Colombian bred Sudan Rume from the renowned Granja Espranza.
