Resumen
Descripción
An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited Mozambique from 25 April to 12 May 1998 to estimate the country’s 1997/98 production of food crops, forecast cereal import requirements for 1998/99 and determine the likely food aid needs. The Mission was joined by an observer from the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) and included a TCDC (Technical Cooperation among Developing Countries) expert from Tanzania. In carrying out its tasks, the Mission was divided into four teams to visit as many areas as possible, particularly flood and drought affected areas. The Mission received full co-operation from central government departments, provincial and district government officials, personnel of UN agencies, and donor and NGO representatives. During field trips, discussions were held with farmers, traders, and NGO field staff regarding crop conditions, area lost, harvest prospects, and problems faced by the farmers.
