CONTRY: SWAZILAND
ORIGINE:        FAO
TITLE:          SPECIAL REPORT FAO/WFP CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY 
ASSESSMENT  MISSION TO SWAZILAND
DATE:           9 June 2003
OVERVIEW:       The Government of Swaziland, anticipating a third 
consecutive poor harvest, requested FAO and WFP for assistance in reviewing 
the country's food situation and outlook for the 2003/04 marketing year. 
Consequently, an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited 
the country from 1 to 10 May 2003. The Mission was accompanied by an 
observer from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Regional 
Early Warning Unit (REWU).
The Mission received full cooperation from the Deputy Prime Minister's 
Office, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Ministry of Economic 
Planning, the National Disaster Task Force (NDTF), and the National Early 
Warning Unit. Discussions were also held with relevant UN agencies, donor 
representatives, NGOs, the National Maize Corporation, Ngwane Milling, 
Universal Milling Company, and the National Agricultural Marketing Board.
