FAO/GIEWS - Foodcrops & Shortages 09/98 - MALAWI (3 September)
The food supply situation in the current 1998/99 marketing year is expected to improve following the above average 1998 cereal harvest of 1.88 million tonnes. Maize production increased by 225 000 tonnes to 1.76 million tonnes. People living in localized food deficit areas in the north, where excessive rains resulted in flooding with loss of crops, are expected to be assisted under a Government programme supported by aid agencies.
