    Cereal and pulse production from the 2007/08 meher season in Ethiopia is estimated at 21.5 million tonnes from 12.25 million ha, a 7 percent increase on 2006s post-harvest estimate. This represents the fourth consecutive bumper harvest. Generally well-distributed and timely rainfall, increased use of fertiliser and improved seeds, and very low pressure from pests and diseases, together with expansion in cultivated area, accounted for the bumper crops. Throughout the country, grain and live stock prices remain firm or rising, boosted by a combination of economic growth and effective demand, formal and informal trade, higher oil prices, local purchases by cooperatives and relief agencies, and expectations of further price hikes. Livestock and pasture conditions are generally good over most of the country and livestock prices are firm or increasing, boosted by increased domestic demand and improved export position to countries in the Middle East.

    • Despite poor secondary season belg rains, the 2008 meher crop has recovered strongly from earlier expectations due to abundant rainfall in major producing areas which continued through October, benefiting late sown crops. • In 2008, encouraging progress was made by the the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MoARD) and the Central Statistics Authority (CSA) in reconciling the long standing differences in crop area estimates through the EC-funded, FAO project “Support to Food Secur ity Information System”. Accordingly, the Mission used, for the first time, pre-harvest planted area estimates generated by the annual sample survey of the Central Statistics Authority (CSA). • Cereal and pulse production from the meher season is forecast at 17.44 million tonnes, about 10 percent above the previous year’s post-harvest estimates. This is the fifth consecutive good meher harvest...
