MAURITANIA

MAURITANIA:

Seasonably dry conditions prevail. Planting will start following the onset of the rains in late June or July. Dry plantings may already have started in some areas in the extreme south and the south-east.

Seed availibility is generally adequate following good rainfed crop harvests in 2000 in most areas. Desert Locusts have been observed mid-April north of Aïoun. They may move towards the summer breeding areas in the south where they are expected to mature and lay with the onset of the rainy season.
