HIGHLIGHTS

 

§  Prolonged dry weather conditions from April to late June in the main central and southern cereal-producing provinces raise serious concerns about the final production of the ongoing 2017 main cropping season.

 

§  If rains do not improve soon, the 2017 cereal output may decrease significantly, further deteriorating the local food insecurity.

 

§  Immediate interventions are needed to support the affected farmers and prevent negative coping strategies for the most vulnerable households.
