Central America Drought Update

 

http://www.fao.org/giews/english/imgs/orangebox.gif Prolonged dry weather associated with the current El Niño event reduces the 2015 output of the main season crops.

http://www.fao.org/giews/english/imgs/orangebox.gif Aggregate 2015 maize production of the subregion’s four major producing countries is tentatively forecast by FAO to fall 8 percent from the previous year’s already reduced level, but sharper declines are expected in most-affected El Salvador and Honduras.

http://www.fao.org/giews/english/imgs/orangebox.gif Imports of maize in the 2015/16 marketing year (September/August) are set to increase substantially in the subregion.

http://www.fao.org/giews/english/imgs/orangebox.gif Maize prices remain well above their year-earlier levels, reflecting the unfavourable production prospects and reduced availabilities from the 2014 drought-reduced harvests.
