Issued every month throughout the growing season, which lasts from June to October, by the FAO Global Information and Early Warning System on food and agriculture. The report describes weather conditions, pest infestations and crop prospects in this drought-prone zone. A synthesis report is published at the end of the season containing first harvest estimates, based on a series of Crop Assessment Missions which are undertaken jointly with national and regional authorities.
