Continuous civil strife since 1988 has seriously disrupted the Somali economy and damaged most of the country's infrastructure. A large proportion of the population has been displaced. The disastrous floods in late 1997 dealt an added blow to the fragile food security situation by causing extensive damage to infrastructure and property and substantial crop and livestock losses. Against this background a team composed of an FAO/GIEWS staff member, an FAO consultant agrometeorologist and an agrono mist from the Food Security Assessment Unit in Nairobi (FSAU), visited southern Somalia from 27 to 30 May 1998 to review the findings of the current season assessment carried out by the FSAU team of national agronomists. Two workshops were held in Beletweyne (Hiraan) and Merka (Lower Shebelle), where field visits were undertaken. The review was also facilitated by information obtained from earlier low flying inspections over agricultural areas by the WFP agronomist and the FAO agrometeorologist. The Northwestern regions (Somaliland) were visited in mid-June by the FSAU agronomist and the findings are included in this report.
