Also available in:
Following a strong recovery in 1998, Afghanistan's cereal production suffered a setback in 1999 due to late and erratic spring rains, shortages of irrigation water as a result of the mildest winter in 40 years with very low snowfall, and high incidence of yellow rust and sunnpest that damaged crops in the north and west of the country. The situation took a serious adverse turn in 2000 with a countrywide severe drought as a consequence of lack of rains and very little snowfall in winter. It is ag ainst this background that an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission, supported by UNDP, was fielded to Afghanistan from end-April to end-May to estimate the 2000 cereal harvest and cereal import requirement, including food aid needs, for the marketing year 2000/01. The Mission visited 17 provinces in different regions of the country. To support the work of the Mission, WFP fielded survey teams of national agronomists to collect detailed information on crop production and livestock situation. These teams carried out sample surveys in 28 out of 31 provinces. The Mission also benefited from discussion with UN agencies, multilateral and bilateral donors, Afghan authorities, and many NGOs. Available relevant reports and documents were reviewed. Area and yield estimates for various crops in different regions were based on field visits involving interviews with farmers and crop cutting where feasible, data generated by survey teams, and discussions with UN and NGO personnel kno wledgeable about particular regions and areas. -

Following similar Missions in 1997 and 1998, an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission, supported by UNDP, was fielded to Afghanistan from 22 May-23 June 1999 to estimate the 1999 cereal harvest and cereal import requirement, including food aid needs, for 1999/2000. The Mission visited Kabul and Herat regions, while WFP-funded six survey teams of national agronomists covered most of the accessible regions of the country, including Faizabad, Jalalabad, Kabul, Kandahar, Herat and Mazar-i- Sharif. The Mission benefited from discussions with UN agencies, multilateral and bilateral donors, Afghan authorities, ICRC and many NGOs. Available relevant reports and documents were reviewed. Area and yield estimates for various crops in different regions were based on field visits, data generated by survey teams, and discussions with farmers and UN and NGO personnel knowledgeable about particular regions and areas. Relative peace in most parts of Afghanistan, in recent years, has bolst ered agricultural activities and local trade with increased private sector participation. However, the country's cereal production suffered a setback in 1999, compared to the very strong recovery in 1998, due to shortage of irrigation water as a result of the mildest winter in 40 years with very low snowfall, late and erratic spring rains and high incidence of yellow rust and sunnpest that damaged crops in the north and west of the country. In addition, there is a trend in gradually diverting ir rigated wheat land to such cash crops as onion, potato, poppy, and tree crops, particularly almonds and apricots. -

Following reports of a prolonged dry spell that affected the 2000/01 crops, an FAO/WFP Crop and Supply Assessment Mission visited Swaziland from 16 to 28 May 2001, to review harvest prospects and the overall food supply situation, and to estimate cereal import requirements, including food aid, if any, for the 2001/02 marketing year. The Mission received full cooperation from the National Early Warning Unit (NEWU), the Ministry of Agriculture and Co-operatives and the United Nations Development P rogramme. Discussions were held with the Deputy Prime Minister, the National Disaster Management Service, the National Maize Corporation (NMC), relevant UN agencies and NGOs. SADC Regional Early Warning Unit (REWU) participated in the Mission as an observer. Extensive field visits were undertaken in all agro-ecological regions of the country and interviews were conducted with farmers, extension service, millers and traders. The Mission split into two groups to ensure adequate coverage of key are as within the time allocated.

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.
