1. Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission (CFSAM)
The meeting participants were informed that the joint FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission had finished their field work and that the team was currently in Nay Pyi Daw to present preliminary results. The mission team analyzed the food supply in the country (both in the Delta and in the non-Nargis affected areas of the country) to predict the up-coming harvest situation, focusing on the monsoon rice crop.
􀂾 A presentation of preliminary results will be made on 3 November, 10.30 h, Chatrium Hotel during the Food Cluster meeting
