Also available in:
In May 1998, FAO issued a Special Alert on the grave food supply difficulties in southern Sudan, particularly in Bahr el Ghazal, as a result of a succession of drought-reduced food production coupled with an intensification of the long-running civil strife. Later in the year heavy rains and flooding displaced a large number of households and damaged crops in the central and eastern parts of the country. These events prompted the fielding of an FAO Mission to southern Sudan in October and a joint FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission to all the production areas in northern Sudan from 15 November to 3 December 1998 to estimate cereal production and food supply and assess food aid needs from the current harvest of mainly sorghum and millet and to make an early forecast of wheat production in the first quarter of 1999. Based on these estimates of production and carryover stocks, the Mission assessed the 1998/99 cereal status including export potential, import requirements a nd food aid needs. -

No results found.An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited Sudan from 14 November to 6 December 1995 to forecast production from the 1995 sorghum and millet harvests and from the 1995/96 wheat crop, and assess the national cereal s ituation, including forecasts of import requirements and food aid needs in 1995/96. The Mission visited all states except those in southern Sudan. Information on the southern states was derived from an earlier GIEWS Mission and from data obtained b y WFP/UNDP/UNICEF d uring relief operations in the South in 1995. The Mission also visited the Northern province of Upper Nile state in the South. Full cooperation was received from the Government's Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Animal Wealth (MANRAW) and from the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (RRC) at both federal and state levels, and from other concerned Ministries and parastatal organizations. In addition, the Mission consulted with all the main bilateral and multilateral organization s, and with NGO representations. Information on cropped areas and anticipated production was obtained at state level, with mod ifications by the Mission from field inspections, discussions with farmers and data on rainfall, pest and weed incidence, input supplies and prices. -

No results found.An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited Sudan from 19 November to 11 December 1996 to estimate production from the current harvests of sorghum and millet and to forecast that for the wheat crop of 1996/97. The cereal situation for the 1996/97 marketing year was assessed including trade forecasts and the national and regional food aid requirements. The Mission visited all 16 states in the northern part of the country and two states in the south. The remaining eight states in th e south had been visited by an earlier FAO mission in September/October and the assessment of Southern Sudan is included in this Special Report. Due to the better coverage of southern Sudan this year, the report includes a more complete picture of agricultural production in the south and so, for the whole of Sudan. All the significant cereal growing areas were visited, together with specific locations previously identified as in need of food assistance. Full cooperation was received from t he Government’s Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Animal Wealth (MANRAW) and two of their senior staff accompanied and assisted the Mission throughout. The state and provincial offices of MANRAW provided useful information to the Mission in the form of local crop statistics and qualitative descriptions of the growing season. Assistance was also received from the federal and state-level offices of the Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC) which is responsible for early warning and for fo od aid assessments throughout the country. One staff member of HAC and one from the National Development Foundation assisted the Mission during its field work. In addition, the Mission consulted state and provincial administrative leaders and officials, and the Agricultural Bank of Sudan.
