Dear All,

We are pleased to share the following FAO/GIEWS Special Alert.



GIEWS Special Alert                                                No. 343
26 February 2018
Southern Africa

Erratic rains and an intense dry period in January
lowers 2018 cereal production prospects



HIGHLIGHTS


§  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.
