Synopsis (short abstract) This report presents a preliminary assessment of the 2002 cereal harvests in the nine west African countries which are members of CILSS1/. It is based on information available to FAO's Global Information and Early Warning System (GIEWS) as of early November 2002 and on production estimates provided by the national services and reviewed by Crop Assessment Missions to all nine CILSS countries in October. These Missions comprised experts from GIEWS and the CILSS/Agrhymet Centre in Niamey. FEWS (Fam ine Early Warning System) Programme of USAID and World Food Programme (WFP) were also associated with some of these Missions. The Missions worked closely with the national agricultural statistics services responsible for collecting and processing cereal production data, meteorological information, crop protection, hydrology and, where they exist, national early warning systems (SAP), market information systems (SIM) and food security monitoring systems (CT-CCI in Burkina Faso, CASAGC in Chad, SA P-GC in Niger, etc.). The Missions also met representatives of the main donors. FAO and CILSS worked closely together, at both field and headquarters level, and the figures in the report are those generally agreed by both secretariats.

This report presents the findings of Missions fielded in mid-September 1997 by the FAO Global Information and Early Warning System (GIEWS) to the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) to assess the 1997 harvest outlook for foodcrops and the 1997/98 cereal import requirements. This year’s Mission was joined by an observer from the Economic Research Service of the U.S.Department of Agriculture, who provided important technical input on various aspects of the assessment, in particular for the li vestock industry and the Russian Federation. Missions visited Moldova, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation, Turkmenistan, the Ukraine and Uzbekistan. The findings of an FAO Mission in June/July to Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia were updated with the assistance of in-country WFP staff in August and September. As regards Tajikistan, FAO in-country staff continuously monitor developments in this country’s agriculture and food supply situation. Information for t he States not visited was obtained from the CIS Statistical Committee and directly from these countries’ statistical offices and crop monitoring specialists. Throughout its work, the Mission received invaluable assistance from grain traders, the statistical offices, specialized institutes for agriculture, ministries of agriculture, grain marketing organizations as well as from the staff of the EC TACIS projects, the World Bank and the United Nations Offices in the countries visited.
