\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
Sudan is considered to be one of the richest African countries in terms of forestry and water resources, nevertheless it suffers from the poverty because of the lack of optimal use of its resources. Despite the richness of Sudan in most basic factors required to establish pulp, paper and fiber board industries, it still almost entirely depends on imports to satisfy its needs of the products of such industries. The present study was carried out to investigate some wood properties of Balanites aegyptiaca and to assess its suitability for pulp, paper and fiber board industries.



This species is widely distributed and easily grown on large areas on Sudan. The wood materials were collected from four states in Sudan namely: Blue Nile, North Kordofan, South Kordofan and White Nile states. Some anatomical and physical properties were investigated, and their results were used to determine the suitability of the selected tree species for pulp, paper and fiberboard industries. Fiber length, diameter, lumen diameter and double wall thickness were measured amid the data were used to obtain the Runkel ratio, slenderness ratio and coefficient of suppleness. Wood basic density was determined.



The results revealed that the wood anatomical and physical properties of the study species may qualify it for pulp, paper and fiberboard industries. This will enhance the establishment of wood industry in the poor rural areas where the wood raw material and the water supply are available. The thing which would provide an economic incentive to the forestry and industrial sector of Sudan and lead to poverty alleviation}
