    A joint FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM) visited the Lao People’s Democratic Republic from 16 November to 5 December 2019 at the request of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. The request was prompted by concerns over the impact of unfavourable weather conditions during the second half of 2019 on the main season crops. The Mission estimated the 2019 cereal production and the import requirements during the 2020 marketing year (January/December) and assessed the overall food security situation 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).

    At the request of the Government of Sri Lanka, a joint FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM) took place in June and July 2022 to analyse the country’s agricultural production in 2022, particularly of the main staple cereals, and to assess households’ food security conditions. The request was prompted by expectations of a well below agricultural output in 2022, owing to the effects of the severe macroeconomic crisis, which also pushed up food prices to record or near-record levels. This caused a significant worsening of households’ food security.
