FAO/GIEWS - Foodcrops & Shortages 02/01 - NAMIBIA (2 February)
The outlook for this year's cereal crop has deteriorated as a result of severe dry weather during January in the northern growing areas. The dry weather followed late and erratic rains since the beginning of the season. Precipitation in February and March will be critical for the recovery of maize and sorghum crops.
The food supply situation remains satisfactory as a result of the good cereal harvest of last season and the country's commercial import capacity.
