Being located in the center of three blocks (tafateesh) belonging to al-Gezira project, most of the inhabitants of Abushneib are farmers, with each farmer having a certain irrigated land plot (hawashah) ranging in size from two to four acres in the average, at either Maktab Touris, Riweenah, or Abbass. However, with the recent decline of the Project’s returns, as the case in the other villages of al-Gezira, most of the natives tend to rely on the financial support of their relative expatriates. Other economic activities include general trading or possessing transportation trucks and operating them between the major cities of the country including Port Sudan.
