Cereal production is expected to be lower than average this year. Yields likely declined due to below-average rainfall during the main cropping season. This decrease in production may worsen food insecurity.

Remote sensing analysis suggests that crop yields have dropped compared to the previous year. Official production estimates are not yet available, but indications point to a decline. Further information on the situation can be found in the GIEWS Country Brief, which provides more details on food security and crop production.
