Issued 6 times a year. Readers are provided with country-by-country summaries of the most recent information on the production, trade, stocks and consumption of food commodities, as well as food aid requirements, pledges and actual deliveries, when appropriate. The report contains a synthesis of the main crop and food supply developments in each sub-region of the world. Special attention is paid to countries which face exceptional food shortages or where the prospects for current crops are unfavourable. In these countries, information on sub-national food security indicators is also included. If emergency interventions are underway, details of the total numbers of beneficiaries and emergency food aid requirements are also provided.
