No results found.At the request of the government, a joint FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM) visited Sri Lanka from 11 to 31 March 2023 to estimate the 2023 crop production, forecast the country’s cereal import requirements for the 2023 marketing year, and assess household food security conditions. The request was prompted by expectations of a below‑average agricultural output for the second consecutive year in 2023, owing to the effects of the severe macroeconomic crisis that limited imports of most agricultural inputs. To gather information on the conditions of the agriculture sector and household, and nutrition security, the mission held extensive meetings with staff of various government institutions, in particular the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), the Ministry of Irrigation (MoI) and the “Mahaweli” Authority, the Ministry of Fisheries (MoF) and the National Aquaculture Development Authority (NAQDA), the Ministry of Finance, Economic Stabilization and National Policies (MoFESNP), the Ministry of Trade (MoT), the Department of National Planning (DNP), the Department of Census and Statistics (DCS), the Department of Meteorology, the Paddy Marketing Board (PMB), the National Fertilizer Office, the Agriculture and Agrarian Insurance Board (AAIB), the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBS) as well as traders, rice and wheat millers ,and agriculture input importers.

Book (series)Special Report – 2024 FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM) to the Lebanese Republic

No results found.At the request of the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), a joint FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM) visited the country from 15 to 28 July 2024 to estimate the 2024 crop production, identify factors that affected production, forecast staple food import requirements for the 2024/25 marketing year (July/June), analyse the domestic food market and assess the acute food security situation. The Mission identified measures to address some of the most pressing challenges in the agriculture sector with the aim of improving national food security and safety as well as strengthening the performance of the sector in line with the Lebanon National Agriculture Strategy (NAS) 2021–2025.The escalating conflict since September 2024 poses serious risks to agricultural production, which has been an important source of income and employment since the financial collapse which started in October 2019, endangering its ability to support livelihoods, especially for vulnerable communities.The CFSAM was conducted at the end of July 2024, prior to the recent expansion in the intensity of the South border conflict taking place in Lebanon since 8 October 2024. At the time of finalization of this report, the ongoing conflict had further intensified and expanded beyond South, leading to the displacement of up to an estimated 1 million people inside the country, according to Lebanese authorities, with more than 258 000 persons between Lebanese and Syrian refugees having crossed the border to the Syrian Arab Republic as well, as of 10 October 2024.
