An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission (CFSAM) visited the UN-administered Province of Kosovo (Kosovo) between 1 July and 7 July to: (i) assess prospects for crop production in 2001; (ii) review the overall food supply situation and prospects and (iii) re-examine the degree of vulnerability. The Mission's findings are based on crop and livestock data collected throughout the year by the FAO/WFP Food Security Surveillance Unit (FSSU), cross-checked by the Mission through discussi ons with bilateral and UN agencies, NGOs, the emerging UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) Department of Agriculture and the Municipal Directorates of Agriculture. Key informants with whom detailed semi-structured interviews were conducted included millers, traders and farmers, some of whom were already harvesting at the time of the Mission. Transects driven through 20 of the 30 municipalities of Kosovo gave ample opportunity for crop inspections, sample crop-cutting and general observations of the agr icultural and livestock situation. The Mission found that the determination and optimism exhibited by the farming community during the rapid recovery last year has been sustained during the 2000/2001 growing season. -
