No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical reportFAO/WFP CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY ASSESSMENT MISSION TO THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA - 19 February 1998 1998
Also available in:
In view of the late onset and poor spatial distribution of rains reported during the 1997 Masika and long rains season, a serious reduction in domestic food supplies was anticipated for the current 1997/98 marketing year (June/May). It was envisaged that food supplies from the 1998 secondary Vuli crop would ease the food situation somewhat. However, since October last year the country received unprecedented rainfall, which resulted in widespread flooding and damage to the agriculture sector and infrastructure, particularly the transport system. In view of these developments and ongoing food supply concerns, the Government requested an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission to assess the outcome of the 1998 Vuli crop, review early prospects for the 1998 main Masika and long rains crop and evaluate the overall food supply situation for the remaining part of the current 1997/98 marketing year to the end of May. -

Also available in:
An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited Burundi in February 1998 to evaluate the 1998 first season (1998A) production, forecast harvest for the second and third seasons (1998B and C), and estimate the countrys import and food aid requirements for 1998. The mission had consultations with government officials and representatives of UN and other bodies, and visited all the countrys provinces. In preparation for the mission, a preliminary survey had been carried out by two nationa l consultants in twelve provinces where security conditions permitted. The mission noted an improvement in security conditions which allowed some of the population in regroupment and displacement camps to return to their farms during the second half of 1997. Thus the number of people in camps fell by 14 percent between June 1997 and January 1998 from 665 374 to 572 462, representing 9 percent of the total population in February 1998. This population movement, together with repatriation from o utside the country, led to an increase in planted areas in 1998A season. -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical reportFAO/WFP CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY ASSESSMENT MISSION TO THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA - 12 November 1998 1998
Also available in:
The combination of economic decline and natural disasters in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea since 1995, have seriously compromised national food security. Although the unprecedented volume of food aid and international assistance for agriculture recovery has undoubtedly helped ease the situation, the country still faces a precarious food outlook. An earlier FAO/WFP mid-season assessment of crop and food prospects in June warned that even under favourable weather conditions, chro nic shortages of essential agricultural inputs would compromise food production this year leaving the country with a large food deficit. In addition, the severity of economic problems facing the country and its seriously reduced capacity to import food commercially meant that a large part of the deficit would need to be covered by food assistance.

Book (stand-alone)Flagship2015–16年农产品市场状况
贸易与粮食安全：更好地平衡国家重点与集体利益
2015全球农产品和粮食产品贸易已在最近几十年取得快速增长，各国作为出口或进口方越来越多地参与这一贸易进程。这种趋势预计将在今后几十年中持续。因此，贸易将在全球各区域对粮食安全的程度和性质产生越来越重要的影响。我们面临的挑战就是确保农产品贸易的扩大能对消除饥饿、粮食不安全和营养不良起到促进作用，而不是阻碍作用。 本版《农产品市场状况》旨在缓解目前各方在农产品贸易对粮食安全产生的影响以及如何管理农产品贸易以确保贸易开放度的增加能惠及所有国家等问题上出现的观点两极分化现象。本书通过就一系列话题举证和说明，努力促成各方就政策选择开展有实证依据的辩论，并在政策选择过程中努力实现必要的改进。
