    Food supply situation and crop prospects in Sub-Saharan Africa - April 1999 1999
    Also available in:
    This is the first issue in 1999 of this quarterly report prepared by the FAO Global Information and Early Warning System (GIEWS) on the food supply situation, cereal import and food aid requirements for all countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The report is designed to provide the latest analysis and information on the food situation in these countries to governments, international organizations and other institutions engaged in relief operations. Part I focuses on the food supply difficulties in several countries of the sub-region, particularly in Angola, Somalia, Sierra Leone and Democratic Republic of Congo, where civil strife and unfavourable weather have perpetuated food emergencies for the affected populations. It also highlights successes in the Sahelian countries where above-average to record crops have been gathered. Part II contains an assessment of crop prospects and the food supply situation by sub-region, giving the latest estimates of cereal import and food aid re quirements of all four sub-regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Part III presents the latest analysis and information on crop prospects and the food supply situation and outlook in each country. The information on food aid pledges, including triangular transactions and local purchases, and on expected arrivals, is based on data transmitted to GIEWS as of mid-March 1999 by the following donors: Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, EC, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Sweden, Swi tzerland, United Kingdom, United States as well as the World Food Programme. For other donors, data are based on field reports from various sources (see Tables 6 and 7).

    Honey bee diseases and pests: a practical guide 2006
    Also available in:
    It is obvious that apicultural industries play an important role in generating employment opportunities and increasing family income in the rural areas of the world. Control of diseases and pests of honey bees is one of most challenging tasks in improving quality of honey and honey bee by-products, especially for the beekeepers in developing countries. This publication describes common diseases and pests of honey bees and their importance and provides a practical guide to the bas ic technology available to beekeepers for their control and prevention. The publication is further evidence of the continuing endeavours of FAO to promote beekeeping in developing countries, as a low-cost means of improving local diets, elevating purchasing power and diversifying rural activities.
