FAO/WFP CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY ASSESSMENT MISSION TO THE KINGDOM OF JORDAN - 26 May 1999
Following the declaration by the Government of Jordan of a national drought emergency in the Kingdom, an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited the country from 28 April to 15 May 1999 to assess the effect of the drought on food production, livestock and farm resources, estimate the cereal import requirements, including possible food aid needs and identify emergency support and remedial measures for the agricultural sector. The Mission, working closely with the Ministry of Agriculture, reviewed the latest releases and reports from the Government, UN and bilateral agencies, international analysts and NGOs working in the Kingdom. Discussions were held with key informants in all related ministries, including Ministry of Planning, Ministry of Water and Irrigation and the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The activities of the Mission were followed closely by the major donors. USAID provided an international observer to accompany the Mission on sample field trips.
