Land tenure and distribution are key factors to understanding the structure of production and power in traditional rain-fed sector. Various forms of land tenure influence the stability of the traditional rain-fed sector in rural area. If large numbers of farmers have only temporary access to land (through short¬term sharecropping agreements, for example), social problems are likely to be severe. The following analysis is an attempt to characterize man/land relations and indicates the extent to which these relationships represent major constraints on agricultural development in Bara, North Kordofan State in particular, and Sudan in general. Therefore, the study conducted on the basis of cross-district analysis and extrapolates the results to all districts in north Kordofan state, Sudan. 146 households were randomly selected for interview using pre-constructed questionnaire during 2010/2011 season. The results indicated that the socio-economic in general and land tenure system are the important factors affecting on the production and productivity of crops in traditional rain-fed sector and moreover affecting the agriculture development in North Kordofan State. In addition to that there was a relationship between socio-economic characteristics and land tenure which use in the agricultural development for example males at the level of significance of 5%, and no relationship between economic characteristics and land tenure which use in the agricultural development for example females at the level of significance of 5%
