UGANDA (11 February)
Harvesting of the 2003/04 second season food crops is almost complete. Prospects are generally favourable, reflecting good rains overall. Recent unseasonable rainfall has also replenished pasture and water in several parts. The output of the main season crop, harvested last summer, was about average.
The overall food supply situation is stable. However, average prices of food commodities continue to be generally higher compared to last year. Insecurity in northern and eastern Uganda continues to claim the lives of civilians. Food distribution by WFP are estimated to reach over 1.4 million displaced persons, 160 000 refugees and other vulnerable persons.
