There were and probably still are, plenty in Sudan.

A lot of cotton sprayed by Polish and Bulgarian companies, among others.

Good utility A/C from all accounts. Bit heavy on gas (1000 hp radial up front)

Operated with 2 crew, even on AG work. 1 to fly the thing and the other to strong-arm the spray gear.

Believe there is one operated by a Maun-based company (Botswana). Try Swampair.
