Descripción
The report is based on information gathered by a recent FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission to Uzbekistan. The Mission evaluated crop production in 2000, assessed the overall food supply situation and estimated cereal import requirements, including food aid, in the marketing year 2000/2001. It also identified emergency support and remedial measures needed for the rehabilitation of agricultural sector1. The Mission visited Tashkent and moved overland to the worst affected areas, the Autonomous Republic of Karakalpakstan and Khorezm province, located about 1 200 km and 950 km north-west of Tashkent respectively at the tail-end of the river AmuDarya. Extensive discussions were held with Government officials in Tashkent and with the regional, district and local authorities in Karakalpakstan and Khorezm as well as with farmers, personnel of UN and bilateral agencies and NGOs. The staff of the UNDP offices in Tashkent and Nukus provided useful support to the Mission. In the country, the donors requested particular emphasis on the most affected regions.
