| dc.description | Of all the countries of southern Africa, Zambia appears to have suffered the most from El Niño-related weather anomalies. The northern part of the country experienced abnormally high and incessant rainfall and extensive flooding throughout the season, while the southern part experienced near-drought conditions. In view of these unfavourable conditions, an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited the country from 27 April to 14 May 1998, at harvest time, to assess the impact of the weather anomalies on foodcrop production and the overall food supply situation, and to estimate cereal import requirements for the 1998/99 marketing year (May-April), including food aid needs of the affected populations. The Mission was joined by observers from the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) and the USAID Famine Early Warning System (FEWS). | |
