This study aimed to measure the level of protection and comparative advantage of producing gum Arabic in West Kordofan State, Sudan during the period 2010-2015. It employed the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) technique as a quantitative tool of analysis. The secondary data used were obtained from different sources. The finding indicated that gum Arabic production in West Kordofan State is profitable and has a comparative advantage. Despite that, the government policies have been taxing gum and discouraging its production during the period under the deterioration in the exchange rate. The study recommended that reducing direct and indirect taxes is the essential issue.
