Synopsis (short abstract) An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission (CFSAM) visited the country from 11 to 22 May 2015 at the invitation of the Government of Swaziland to estimate the 2014/15 maize production and assess the food security situation. The invitation was prompted by an extended dry period between January and March 2015 that had raised serious concerns over the impact on crop production, particularly in the agro-ecological zones Lowveld and Lubombo Plateau.

The request was prompted by a prolonged period of poor rainfall over most of the country throughout 2016 that raised serious concerns on production of paddy and other crops in 2017 as we ll as on livestock. The Mission assessed the impact of the dry weather on the 2017 main-crop harvest and estimated the expected food deficit for 2017. The Mission assessed the overall food-security situation and identified the main country’s agricultural support needs until the next main harvest.
