No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical reportFAO/GIEWS CROP ASSESSMENT MISSION TO LIBERIA - 16 January 1996 1996
Also available in:
No results found.An FAO Crop Assessment Mission visited Liberia from 26 November to 22 December 1995. Its purpose was to estimate 1995 food production and evaluate prospects for the food situation in 1996. The team visited eleven of the thirteen counties, using a helicopter to survey those areas which were not accessible by road and worked closely with both local and international NGOs. Even on the most optimistic reckoning, rice production in 1995 was only 23 percent of the pre-civil war level. Cassava pro duction has also been hit, possibly falling by as much as 50 percent. Extensive and continuous population displacement has left large tracts of agricultural land deserted. Insecurity in settled areas outside the ECOMOG controlled zone, has made it difficult for farmers to store seed for planting, and most have depended on emergency seed distribution programmes. Insecur ity has also discouraged weeding and crop protection activities in several of the high-potential settled areas. Cassava has prov ed to be more resilient to short term population displacement and the consequent neglect of crops. The mission’s es timates are highly tentative given that there has been no systematic survey of food production since 1989. -

Achaea catocaloides (Guenée, 1852) (Erebidae) is a migratory, polyphagous forest insect that also attacks crops such as cocoa, coffee, citrus, plantain, mango, maize, groundnut, etc. Outbreaks were first reported in Africa, in Entebbe, Uganda, and DR Congo in 1930 (Pitman, 1930; Vinall, 1930). Since then, periodic irruptions occurred in tropical Africa, including Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Guinea, Gabon, Cameroon, Liberia, Uganda, Kenya, Côte d’Ivoire. The moth is widespread in West, Central, and East Africa. In addition to causing damage to crops, this pest poses a risk of contaminating drinking water sources with caterpillars and their feces

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
