Descripción
The 2016 - 2017 agricultural campaign is marked by the end of off-season crop operations. Market gardening supply remains moderately available in the markets. The period is also characterized by the 2017 - 2018 campaign preparations. As part of the 2017 - 2018 campaign preparation, the synthesis of the forecast by the Agrhymet Regional Center dated 3 April 2017 indicates that it is more likely that the rainfall for the main rainy season are overall average to a slight below average in the Southe rn of the Gulf of Guinea countries and overall above average in Sudano-sahelian Africa countries. In Chad, the pastoral situation is worrying in Ennedi East, Ennedi West, Ouaddai, Sila, Kanem and Bahr-El-Gazal regions due to the depletion of fodder resources and water points. The regions with decline cereal production (Tandjilé, Mayo Kébbi Est and Wadi Fira) will experience more difficulties during the lean season. Cereal stocks are declining throughout the region. In most Sahelian countries (Ma li and Niger for example), millet and sorghum prices increased in April 2017.
