At the request of the government, an FAO Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission (CFSAM) visited the country from 17 to 30 November 2024 to estimate the 2024 crop production, assess the impact of floods that occurred in July, August and September, identify other factors that influenced crop production, analyse food market conditions and forecast cereals and pulses import requirements for the 2024/25 marketing year (July/June).The Mission identified some measures to address the most urgent needs of farmers affected by climate hazards and to improve performance and resilience of the agricultural sector in line with the Agriculture Development Strategy (ADS) 2015–2035.In order to provide assistance to farmers affected by the floods and to strengthen agriculture resilience as well as to unlock agriculture growth potential, the Mission recommends the implementation of a series of cost‑effective short- and medium‑term measures aligned to the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development's ADS 2015–2035. The ADS aims to transform the country from an increasingly net food importer to a net food exporter, generating 0.5 percent trade surplus and to achieve an agriculture growth at a rate of 6 percent per year at the end of the policy period.
