This year the national cereal production is estimated at 8 million MT—a 70 per cent increase compared to the five-year average Levels of acute malnutrition are likely to decrease in most parts of the country during the February to Apri l harvest period. The 2016/2017 national cereal production is estimated at 8 million metric tons(MT)—a 70 per cent increase compared to the five-year average—according to preliminary findings of a joint crop and food supply assessment mission (CFSAM) led by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MoAF) and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). This was reported in the latest Sudan Food Security Outlook report (February – September 2017), issued by FEWS NET. Higher yields of sorghum, millet and wheat. The above-average rainfall from June to October 2016 encouraged

farmers to cultivate larger areas of land resulting in higher yields of sorghum and millet. The expected wheat harvest in March 2017 is estimated at 0.48 million MT, which is similar to production in 2015/16 and about 20 – 25 percent higher than the five-year average.

Sorghum production is expected to be about 1.5 million MT above domestic requirements, and millet is expected to be 500,000 MT above domestic requirements. However, wheat production is estimated at 500,000 MT, which only covers about 20 percent of the a n n u a l d o m e s t i c w h e a t consumption. Due to the favourable rainfall in 2016, livestock and herd sizes have returned to normal in most pastoral and agro-pastoral areas following the dryness associated

with El Ni?o in 2015. The Report also highlighted on some of the reasons for these improvement in the food security situation which included ;in January 2017, the U.S. government partially lifted the year old economic sanctions against Sudan, based in part on improved security conditions in conflict-affected states o f S u d a n a n d r e l a t i v e improvements in humanitarian access. Nevertheless, humanitarian access in SPLM-N-controlled areas of South Kordofan and Blue Nile states remains limited Unilateral ceasefires declared by the Government of Sudan and armed opposition groups have reduced c o n f l i c t a n d p o p u l a t i o n displacements in South Kordofan, Blue Nile, and the Darfur states.However, conflict and severe food insecurity in South Sudan has caused substantial influxes of refugees into Sudan, including the arrival of 32,000 new refugees

since the beginning of 2017.

From Page 1, Regarding the out-come of his recent visit to the United States of America within the delegation of the Federal Minister of Agriculture Dr. Ibra-him Al-Dekhairi and the signing of agreements, the Agricultural Bank's General Manager revealed that the Agricultural Bank re-ceived written message from the American companies on the di-rect contact with the Agricultural Bank, adding that the bank re-ceived a call from a one of the major US bank on the exchange

of documents and data and opening of a direct account within the bank, explaining that after the exchange of docu-ments and the opening of the account, the agreements will immediately be implemented, describing the move as the achievement and good begin-ning of the banking operations with the global banks in Europe, Arab world and Asia, expecting direct contact with more inter-national banks, pointing to the meeting, during the delegation's visit, with the Ministries of Agri-culture, Trade, Treasury and American aid as well as OFAK.
