NewsletterGIEWS Special Alert No. 343 - Southern Africa - 26 February 2018
Erratic rains and an intense dry period in January lowers 2018 cereal production prospects
2018Also available in:
Erratic precipitation and well below-average rains in January have lowered Southern Africa’s overall 2018 cereal production prospects. Current national maize stocks are forecast at above-average levels due to the record outputs in 2017; this should partly cushion the expected production declines in 2018. Reduced harvests are still foreseen to intensify food insecurity in 2018, increasing the number of people in need of assistance; however, humanitarian needs expected to remain below the levels of 2016. -

Also available in:
Severe dryness during the whole month of October in the main cereal-producing areas negatively impacted the establishment and development of “deyr” crops, expected to be harvested in January 2018. The dismal performance of the rainy season has exacerbated water and pasture shortages in pastoral areas, already affected by three consecutive poor rainy seasons. With an already dire food security situation, a continued and effective provision of livelihood support and food assistance is needed to prevent famine outcomes. -
