FAO/GIEWS - Foodcrops & Shortages 02/01 - GUINEA-BISSAU (5 February)
Seasonably dry conditions prevail. A joint FAO/CILSS Crop Assessment Mission in mid-October estimated 2000 cereal production at 168 000 tonnes which is 22 percent above the previous year’s level and close to the pre-crisis level of 1997.
The overall food supply situation is satisfactory. Markets remain well supplied and prices are stable. However, some population groups with low purchase power are facing food difficulties, notably in urban areas.
