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. -

Also available in:
The intense level of violence that followed the 30 August referendum resulted in a massive population displacement, both within and across the borders of East Timor. Food distribution and marketing systems, together with commerce and essential services, were paralyzed and the agricultural cycle was disrupted. In addition, although infrastructure and property damage was extensive, agricultural damage was less severe as crops had already been harvested and only limited burning of the relatively mi nor second season crop in fields, occurred. As the situation still remains fluid, however, various assessments in different sectors will be necessary to evaluate the nature and extent of the problem and quantify the level of intervention required. In keeping with this, therefore, an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission was fielded to East Timor from 25 November to 6 December to assess the current state of agriculture and food supply prospects. The specific objectives were to: (i ) assess immediate food supply prospects until the next main harvest in April 2000; (ii) provide a tentative forecast for crop (maize and rice) production next year and (iii) evaluate the degree of vulnerability emerging among different groups, all of which are considered essential for purposeful targeting of food aid. As information and essential data, especially regarding agriculture and social institutions, were largely destroyed during the unrest, the mission relied on published statistical data from Indonesia, discussion with key international and bilateral agencies, producers at the household level and on field visits to agricultural and vulnerable areas. These included, Bobonaro, Covalima, Oecussiand Aileu, which sustained high levels of damage and Viqueque, Baucau and Los Palos which were relatively less affected. -

Also available in:
Since 1996 it had been impossible for FAO/GIEWS to carry out an on-the-spot assessment of the food supply situation in Liberia due to security reasons. With improved security following the installation of an elected government, GIEWS was able to field a short fact-finding mission to the country in mid-December 1998 to estimate food production in 1998 and forecast the cereal supply position for 1999 (January/December). Two officers, one from the Ministry of Agriculture and the other from the FAO Representation, were assigned to assist the Mission. Discussions were held with relevant Government officials, UN Agencies and NGOs, and limited field visits were made to inspect crop conditions.
