Book (stand-alone)Special Report Ethiopia- February 2006 2006
Also available in:
Aggregate cereal and pulse production in Ethiopia from the 2005/06 “meher” season is forecast at 17.12 million tonnes, about 14 percent above the previous year’s revised estimates and 46 percent above the average of the previous four years. The increase was due to well-distributed and timely rainfall in main crop producing areas, increased use of fertiliser and improved seeds, rapid control of migratory pests, and increased area under cultivation compared to previous years. Despite the goo d harvest, some 2.6 million acutely food insecure people will require emergency food assistance. In addition some 7.2 million chronically food-insecure people will require food assistance through the Productive Safety Net Programme. Of immediate concern is the food situation of some 1.5 million people, mainly pastoralists in the south-eastern Ethiopia, due to failed seasonal rains. Pre-famine conditions are reported, including widespread human and livestock distress migrations, deterioration of livestock body condition and cases of livestock deaths. Total emergency food aid requirements are estimated at approximately 340 000 tons. In view of the expected good domestic grain production in Ethiopia, local purchases for food aid by both the Government and donors are highly recommended to support domestic markets. -

Between November 2006 and March 2007 all departments in the country were affected by a series of adverse climatic events, such as drought, frost, hail-storms and flooding, which damaged crops and reduced yields. Rice crop suffered the most serious losses, with a 35 percent fall in output if compared to the previous year, while soybean and potatoes output declined by around 12 percent over 2006. Total cereals and root crop production in 2007 has been estimated at 1.6 million and 985 000 ton nes, respectively, both of which were 13 percent below the previous average year.
