FAO/WFP crop and food supply assessment mission to
Zimbabwe
This year, the combined impacts of adverse weather and severe
economic constraints in Zimbabwe have induced hardship and food
insecurity among both rural and urban populations, especially in
areas where the current season’s production losses are greatest.
National cereal production in 2007 is estimated to be 44 percent
down on last year’s government estimate, resulting in a significant
national food gap. Those who lost their crops due to extended dry
periods and below-normal rainfall in different parts of the country
will be particularly affected.
