Resumen
Descripción
Production estimates for recently harvested first season are favorable in Central and Western Equatoria states, while below average production has been obtained in most agro-pastoral areas of Eastern Equatoria state that have been affected by scarce and erratic rains. In June, civil insecurity in some eastern counties of Western Equatoria caused displacement of farmers with significant reduction in area planted and yields of first season crops. In Greater Bahr El Ghazal region, production prospe cts of short and long-cycle crops (to be harvested from September to December) are generally favorable, despite the late start of the rainy season and some dry spells. A prolonged dry spell in August severely affected late planted crops in Bor South and Pibor counties in southern Jonglei state. Generally favorable rains at the beginning of September are supporting planting operations of second season crops in Greater Equatoria region. In most conflict-affected counties of Greater Upper Nile regi on, the extent of planted area has severely been affected by worsening security conditions and massive displacement and production is expected to be minimal.
