No results found.An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited Cambodia from 14 to 27 January 1996 to estimate 1995/96 production of wet and dry season rice and evaluate the overall outlook for cereals in 1996. The Mission reviewed data from various sources, including Government, FAO project TCP/CMB/4452 and a survey of communes undertaken by WFP, FAO and the Cambodian Red Cross. In addition, discussions were held with Government, UN agencies, donors and NGOs at central, provincial and local level. During its assessment the Mission visited three major rice growing provinces; Stem Reap, Takeo and Prey Veng The Mission estimates production of the main, wet season, rice crop in 1995/96 at 2.785 million tons and forecasts output of the second, dry season, crop at 0.533 million tons, giving a total 3.318 million tons, some 40 percent above estimated production in 1994/95 and 30 percent higher than the average for the preceding five years. Exceptional rice production in 1995/96 is attribute d to favourable rainfall over most of the country and an increase in the use of fertilizers, which together encouraged an expansion in planting and favoured crop development. The national requirement of rice after losses, for consumption and other uses, in 1996 is estimated at 1.918 million tons. As there are no known stocks carried over from last year, total rice availability in the country in 1996 is estimated to be the same as total output, i.e. 3.318 million tons of paddy or 2 057 million to ns of rice leaving a surplus of 139 000 tons. -

The El Niño-related drought of 1997, was followed by late arrival of the wet season rains in 1998 which were also below normal in many areas, leading to fears of a poor wet season harvest. At the request of the Government of Cambodia, an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission (CFSAM) visited Cambodia from 11 to 29 January 1999 to estimate the 1998/99 wet season rice harvest, forecast the dry season rice production and assess national food supply situation for 1999. The Mission rev iewed data from a special crop assessment survey undertaken earlier by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) in collaboration with WFP, collected information from various government departments, UN agencies, donors and NGOs at national, provincial and local levels. Field visits were made to six of the country’s 23 provinces namely, Prey Veng, Kampong Cham, Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Takeo and Kandal, in the course of which the Mission interviewed farmers, traders (millers , wholesalers, retailers) and non-farming rural residents. -

In September 2000 Cambodia was affected by one of the worst floods in recent history. This one in forty-year flood, resulted in several hundred deaths and large scale destruction of crops, principally rice, infrastructure, property and lines of communication. An estimated 3 million people were affected, half a million displaced from homes and almost four hundred died. The September floods exacerbated existing problems following earlier floods in July. In addition to human loss, current estimates indicate the economic cost of the floods to be around US$100-200 million. In view of the extensive and cumulative damage of the floods on rice this year and the possible impact of this on food availability and household food security over the next year, an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment mission was requested by the Government and fielded to the country between 6 and 15 December, to assess the overall food supply situation and the need for possible food aid intervention for the 20 01 marketing year (January/December). The findings of the mission are based on discussions with Government agencies, UN and NGO organisations, traders and farmers, and on field visits to key rice producing areas including; Battambang, Kapong Cham, Prey Veng and Takeo.

BookletCorporate general interestLand statistics and indicators 2000–2021
Global, regional and country trends
2023Also available in:
No results found.Land use statistics describe the ways in which land is utilized and managed by humans and allocated for different purposes, including through administrative arrangements. FAO collects annual land use data from countries via a standard Land Use, Irrigation and Agricultural Practices questionnaire, covering the full land use matrix in countries using international definitions first developed by the World Census of Agriculture. The resulting Land Use statistics and indicators are disseminated annually in FAOSTAT and complemented by land cover statistics independently compiled by FAO from available land cover maps. This analytical brief reports the main results and changes over time in land statistics and indicators with details at global, regional and country level during the past two decades (2000–2021), with a focus on agriculture. -
BookletHigh-profileJordan food security update
Implications of COVID-19, July–August 2020
2021Also available in:
No results found.With the COVID-19 in Jordan under control, the government of Jordan has managed the response proactively and to mitigate potential immediate impacts on the availability of food to the population. Food security among vulnerable Jordanian households has remained largely stable as yet with 15% of households showing a poor or borderline Food Consumption Score (FCS) in 2020 compared to 16% in 2018. Nevertheless the extent of the damage to key components of the food supply chain is still not completely quantified. Also, the pandemic still ongoing globally and in the region, Jordan will have to remain attentive to multiple risks that could have adverse effects on the national food security. While the government has been active to ensure on a short-term basis adequate food availability and access through support of well-functioning food supply chains, key risks remain. While Jordan has instituted price controls, food consumer price indices indicated slight increases in certain items including vegetables, legumes and meat over the course of the lockdown. Jordan needs to continue to monitor its food prices for consumers and pay particular attention to food availability and financial accessibility for the most vulnerable, including poor and vulnerable Jordanian households (who lost their income sources) and a large population of refugees. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Jordan’s food supply is still to be assessed, especially with respect to the growing seasons of 2021 to 2022. While emergency interventions are already being defined, a full recovery will entail a more in-depth analysis of the issues, opportunities and vulnerabilities of Jordan’s food supply through a dynamic private sector, a supportive public sector, and a social net to ensure that “no one is left behind”. Many efforts internally and with external supporters are being implemented in Jordan to ensure progress on these three fronts. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
