No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)FAO/WFP CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY ASSESSMENT MISSION TO ETHIOPIA - 26 January 2000 2000
Also available in:
The FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission for 1999 was conducted in two parts, with two different time frames and two counterpart agencies. The findings of both assessments are combined into this one Special Report. The first and larger exercise was that carried out by WFP/Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Commission (DPPC) between 6 November and 31 December. This involved 20 teams (comprising staff of DPPC, WFP and other donors) visiting all the zones in the country and a high prop ortion of the food deficit woredas. The aim was to assess both the chronic and current vulnerability of local populations to food insecurity, and to quantify the amounts of food aid required during the year 2000. The analysis of the results of this survey was completed by early January 2000. The second part of the Mission was a crop survey conducted by FAO with assistance from MoA during the period of 18 to 30 November 1999. Its remit was to finalize the main season cereal and pulse production e stimates for 1998 and to prepare production forecasts for 1999. The forecasts were developed at zonal level and aggregated to give a national picture of cereal and pulse availability for 2000, together with an estimate of national import requirements. The FAO/MoA team reported its preliminary findings to Government and donors on 6-7 December 1999. -

Also available in:
After a bumper harvest in 1998, Sudan's cereal production fell well below average in 1999 mainly due to farmers' response to prevailing low cereal prices and shifting to more lucrative cash crops, such as sesame. High incidence of pests and diseases, mainly birds, also affected yields. The situation worsened in 2000 as late rains, prolonged dry spells and localised drought severely affected agricultural production. Against this background, an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visit ed southern Sudan from 4 to 27 October 2000 and northern Sudan from 19 November to 6 December 2000 to assess current season cereal production, forecast wheat production from areas being planted, and estimate cereal import requirements, including food aid, in the marketing year 2000/01 (November/October). The Mission was able to visit 24 out of the 26 states in the country, both in Government and rebel-held areas. The Mission benefited from the full co-operation of the Federal Ministry of Agricul ture and the Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC), which both assigned senior staff to accompany the Mission. Planted area and yield estimates were provided by the State Ministries of Agriculture and staff of the various irrigation schemes, which the Mission cross-checked during field surveys and farmer and trader interviews. Discussions were also held with key informants from local government administrations, UN agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). -

Also available in:
Several countries of the CIS have been affected by a severe drought and Georgia is among the hardest hit. This report contains the findings of an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission which visited the country from 7-18 August 2000 at the request of the Government. The objectives of the Mission were to: assess the impact of the current drought on food production and supply; estimate cereal import requirements in 2000/01 marketing year (July/June) including food aid; and estimate seed requirements for planting in the coming season2. The Mission was assisted in its task by the MoAF, local UN Offices, bilateral agencies and many NGOs.
