Resumen
Descripción
Between November 2006 and March 2007 all departments in the country were affected by a series of adverse climatic events, such as drought, frost, hail-storms and flooding, which damaged crops and reduced yields. Rice crop suffered the most serious losses, with a 35 percent fall in output if compared to the previous year, while soybean and potatoes output declined by around 12 percent over 2006. Total cereals and root crop production in 2007 has been estimated at 1.6 million and 985 000 ton nes, respectively, both of which were 13 percent below the previous average year.
