FAO/GIEWS - Foodcrops & Shortages 04/01 - MOROCCO (27 March)
Rainfall has been generally abundant this year in most growing areas, with the exception of the sahelian zone of the country. The wheat and barley crops are reported to be in good condition and water reservoirs are being replenished, particularly in the northern areas where precipitation continued to be received in late February and early March. The area sown to wheat and other cereals is reported to be close to the level of the previous five-years average. Production is expected to be more than double last year’s poor output of about 2 million tonnes, provided favourable conditions prevail in the next two months.
