Dear All,

 

We are pleased to share the Special Report of the FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission to Sri Lanka:

 

 

 

Special Report - FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission to Sri Lanka

 

22 June 2017

 

OBJECTIVES

 

An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM) visited Sri Lanka from 12 to 29 March 2017 at the request of the Ministry of Agriculture to estimate the 2016/17 main maha paddy production, to forecast the ongoing 2017 secondary yala paddy production and to analyze household food security conditions. The request was prompted by a prolonged period of poor rainfall over most of the country throughout 2016 that raised serious concerns on production of paddy and other crops in 2017 as well as on livestock. The Mission assessed the impact of the dry weather on the 2017 main-crop harvest and estimated the expected food deficit for 2017. The Mission assessed the overall food-security situation and identified the main country’s agricultural support needs until the next main harvest.
