Crop prospects adversely affected by irregular rains in several parts of the country
Harvesting of the 2011 cereal crops was completed in November 2011. Erratic rains and extended dry spells throughout the growing period caused critical damage to crops, reducing coarse grains yields and delaying harvests in several parts of the country. The prolonged dryness as well negatively impacted pasture production in the pastoral and agropastoral areas of the country. The majority affected areas include the northern sahelian zone (Kanem, Bar El Gazal, Hadjer Lamis, Ouaddai, Wadi Firra, Batha regions) and Logone Occidental and Guera regions in the southern sudanian zone.
