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. -

No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical reportFAO/WFP CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY ASSESSMENT MISSION TO SUDAN - 23 December 1998 1998
Also available in:
In May 1998, FAO issued a Special Alert on the grave food supply difficulties in southern Sudan, particularly in Bahr el Ghazal, as a result of a succession of drought-reduced food production coupled with an intensification of the long-running civil strife. Later in the year heavy rains and flooding displaced a large number of households and damaged crops in the central and eastern parts of the country. These events prompted the fielding of an FAO Mission to southern Sudan in October and a joint FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission to all the production areas in northern Sudan from 15 November to 3 December 1998 to estimate cereal production and food supply and assess food aid needs from the current harvest of mainly sorghum and millet and to make an early forecast of wheat production in the first quarter of 1999. Based on these estimates of production and carryover stocks, the Mission assessed the 1998/99 cereal status including export potential, import requirements a nd food aid needs.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2022
Repurposing food and agricultural policies to make healthy diets more affordable
2022This year’s report should dispel any lingering doubts that the world is moving backwards in its efforts to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms. We are now only eight years away from 2030, but the distance to reach many of the SDG 2 targets is growing wider each year. There are indeed efforts to make progress towards SDG 2, yet they are proving insufficient in the face of a more challenging and uncertain context. The intensification of the major drivers behind recent food insecurity and malnutrition trends (i.e. conflict, climate extremes and economic shocks) combined with the high cost of nutritious foods and growing inequalities will continue to challenge food security and nutrition. This will be the case until agrifood systems are transformed, become more resilient and are delivering lower cost nutritious foods and affordable healthy diets for all, sustainably and inclusively. -

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。
