Descripción
An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited Cambodia from 15 to 30 January, 1997, to estimate the 1996/97 wet (main) season rice harvest, forecast 1996/97 dry (secondary) season rice production, and evaluate the national cereal outlook for 1997. The Mission reviewed data and information from various sources, including Government, UN agencies, donors, and NGOs at central, provincial and local level. Farmers were also interviewed during field visits in different provinces. During it s assessment the Mission visited major rice growing provinces: Siem Reap, Takeo, Prey Veng, Kandal, Kampot and Battambang. The Mission estimates production of main, wet season paddy at 2.733 million tons for 1996/97 and forecasts output of the second, dry season irrigated crop at 0.657 million tons, giving a total of 3.390 million tons, about 2 per cent above estimated 1995/96 production and 35 per cent higher than the average for the previous five years.
