dc.descriptionAn FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited Rwanda from 7 to 15 June 1996 to review the outcome of the 1996 season ‘B’ food crops harvest, to evaluate the food supply situation in the country and to estimate import requirements for the second semester of 1996, including food aid. The Mission visited major food crop growing areas and conducted interviews with Government officials concerned at national and local levels, farmers, officials of NGOs, international agencies of the UN sy stem and bilateral donors. The Mission also benefited from the results of preliminary surveys on the evolution of the 1996 ‘B’ agricultural season, organized by FAO in all prefectures. Like the preceding season, the 1996 season ‘B’ was characterized by an increase in the area planted averaging seven percent, with major increases for sorghum and potatoes (17 percent) and pulses (14 percent). These developments reflect the improved stability in the interior of the country and the resumption o f regular agricultural activities by a considerable number of returning refugees. Growing conditions have been generally favourable, with timely and regular rainfall except for some pockets of drought.
