    At the request of the Government of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, a joint FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM) visited the country from 7 to 21 December 2024. The objectives of the CFSAM (henceforth referred to as the Mission) were to estimate staple food crop production in 2024, assess the impact of multiple flood events and other factors affecting the agriculture sector, determine cereal import requirements for the 2024/25 marketing year (September/August) and evaluate the severity and magnitude of acute food insecurity. The Mission identified a broad set of key measures to address the urgent needs of small-scale farmers impacted by weather hazards, providing recommendations to support a sustainable increase in small-scale farmers’ agricultural production and proposed interventions to address acute food insecurity. The Mission provides a comprehensive set of recommendations to support sustainable growth in the agriculture sector and recovery in the regions impacted by weather shocks. The Mission also outlines a number of measures to address the acute food insecurity situation. The Mission findings highlight that limited economic access among vulnerable households to meet basic needs, coupled with the impact of extreme weather events, are key drivers of acute food insecurity in the country.

    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. In addition, the mission held consultations with staff of the World Bank (WB) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
