No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)FAO/WFP CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY ASSESSMENT MISSION TO SERBIA (FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA) - 8 August 2001 2001
Also available in:
An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited Serbia between 17 June and 30 June 2001 to: (i) assess prospects for crop production in 2001; (ii) review the overall food supply situation and prospects at the national level and (iii) determine the needs for food assistance during the marketing year 2001/2002. The Mission's findings are based on crop data provided by the Institute of Statistics, Belgrade, cross-checked against updated information from Chambers of Commerce, Agricultural , Water and Meteorological Institutes, NGOs and UN Agencies. Field visits through 45 municipalities in Vojvodina and Central Serbia afforded the opportunity for crop inspections, sample crop-cutting and detailed semi-structured interviews with key informants including farmers in the private and social sectors, managers of co-operatives, millers, traders, combine drivers and agricultural extension workers. Discussions with Serbian agricultural and economic specialists provided essential backgroun d on the current socio-economic situation and the effects of isolation, sanctions and the NATO intervention. -

Also available in:
An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission (CFSAM) visited the UN-Administered Province of Kosovo (Kosovo) between June 14 and June 28 to: (i) assess prospects for crop production in 2000; (ii) review overall food supply situation and prospects and the need for further food aid intervention during the 2000/2001 marketing year and (iii) re-examine the degree of vulnerability and ways to improve future food aid targeting. The Mission's findings are based on discussions with UN and bilatera l agencies, NGOs and municipal staff and local key informants, viz. farmers, millers and traders during field trips to 27 of the 30 municipalities in Kosovo. The Mission found that the past twelve months, since the end of the spring 1999 crisis, have witnessed considerable progress in the rehabilitation of agriculture in Kosovo and sharp recovery in agricultural production, reflecting the considerable will and resourcefulness of farmers to re-establish their activities as well as timely as sistance from the international community. The Mission forecasts wheat production in 2000 at about 231 000 tonnes, from a harvested area of 86 600 hectares. This is more than double the estimate of last year's crop, but only 60 percent of the level of production reported to have been achieved in 1989 before the decline in the agricultural sector. -

Also available in:
Cereal production in Tajikistan, particularly wheat, has been steadily declining since a peak production in 1997. Last year's drought severely impacted the country's already fragile agricultural sector that has faced severe structural problems due in part to the civil strife and political instability of the mid 1990s. Furthermore, shortage of financial and technical resources has also resulted in a near collapse of the country's irrigation systems, agro-processing industries, agricultural input production and supply units, as well as in the severe deterioration of farm machinery and equipment. Reduced rainfall in 2000/2001 has further exacerbated the adverse conditions of the agricultural sector. It is in this context that the Government of Tajikistan requested FAO and WFP assistance in reviewing the country's food situation and outlook for 2001/02 marketing year. Consequently, an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission was fielded from 19 June to 3 July to estimate the 2001 ce real harvest and cereal import requirement, including food and agricultural assistance needs, for the marketing year 2001/02.
