The Crop Situation Update is issued by the Ministry of Agricultural Development (MoAD), World Food Programme (WFP), and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). It is published twice a year. While periodic updates on the crop performance and food security situation are provided through Food Security Bulletins (issued by MoAD and WFP on a quarterly basis), the crop situation update provides a comprehensive overview on the food supply situation. This crop situation update covers the 2012/13 (Fiscal Year 2069/70) winter crop production and provides an overview of the National Food Balance for 2012/13 agricultural year.
