FAO/GIEWS - Foodcrops & Shortages 11/98 - VENEZUELA (2 November)
Harvesting of the 1998 second season maize crop is underway while that of sorghum has been completed. An average maize output is provisionally forecast while sorghum production continued to decline for the third consecutive year, largely reflecting strong competing imports. Aggregate paddy output in 1998 (three crops) is provisionally forecast at an above-average level.
