Crop Production
The second season cereal production final estimates were low compared to the early forecast set by the National Directorate for Agriculture and Horticulture (NDAH) of MAF. The MAF early forecast was set at 20,673 tonnes for maize and 17,574 tonnes for rice. However, the finalized second estimates for maize was only 9,429 tonnes from the harvested area of
3,915 hectares. This means 46% of the forecast. On the other hand, rice final estimates for the second cropping was only 10,315 tonnes (equivalent to 6,189 tonnes milled rice), which is 59% of the forecast. The second season yield was slightly reduced compared to the first season yield from 2.43 t/ha for maize to 2.41 t/ha and 3.24 t/ha to 2.54 t/ha for rice. Other than availability of farm labour, adequate irrigation facilities, weather variability and pest
attack were some of the factors that triggered the low production during the second season.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF) also confirmed that except Baucau and Covalima the other 11 districts have high deficits of rice, while 7 districts such as the districts of Covalima, Lautem, Liquica, Manatuto, Manufahi, Oecusse and Viqueque have high maize surplus.
