Descripción
A joint FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited Nicaragua from 23 November to 14 December 1998 to assess the food supply/demand outlook for 1998/99 in the country in the aftermath of hurricane Mitch and to make a preliminary assessment of the needs for agricultural rehabilitation. The evaluation was mainly based on discussions with Government officials and with farmers during visits to the field. Discussions were largely focused on food and export crop losses, production trends, trade, food market prices and stocks, as well as food import requirements to meet the losses incurred. The Mission also held a series of interviews with donor representatives, non-governmental organisations and other institutions which were well informed of the situation and took into account the findings of the survey teams deployed by the Government, shortly after the Hurricane Mitch, which carried a sampling survey of 1 200 farmers in the affected areas.
