	Unfavourable crop prospects and food supply shortfall

AFRICA: In southern Africa, food shortages are emerging in Zambia and in parts of Zimbabwe, Malawi and Mozambique where localized crop failures were experienced. In eastern Africa, the overall harvest outlook is favourable except in parts of Sudan, Somalia and Eritrea where natural and man-made disasters have affected food production. In western and central Africa, harvest prospects are generally favourable due to good weather conditions. Elsewhere, food production continues to be disrupted by civil strife in Angola, Burundi, Democractic Republic of Congo and Sierra Leone.
