A joint FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM), at the requested of the Government of Madagascar, visited the country from 24 July to 11 August 2017, following weather shocks that negatively adversely affected the 2016/17 agricultural campaign. The Mission’s remit was to evaluate the factors impacting on agricultural production, estimate the national cereal output and assess the overall food and nutrition security situation. The Mission benefited from the technical and logistical support from the Directorate of Information Systems (DIS) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock attached to the Office of the President.
