# FOREWORD
An assessment of the crop year and food availability is a duty of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MINADER) carried out by the Department of Agricultural Surveys and Statistics (DESA). This duty is usually carried out through a nationwide survey at the end of each crop year.
This report presents the results of the assessment of the 2019/2020 crop year and food availability in the following regions: Adamawa, East, Far-North, North and West regions. It is part of the DESA activity recovery plan validated in September 2020. This report comes after the last one that was produced four years ago in 2016 and whose data was already obsolete. It therefore aims at providing stakeholders in the agricultural sub-sector with reliable and updated data in order to improve agricultural productivity and fight against food insecurity in our country.
This assessment of the 2019/2020 crop year and food availability was carried out from July 1 to 31, 2020 with the support of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in twenty-seven (27) divisions of the Adamawa, East, Far North, North and West regions. The data collected covered the period from April 2019 to March 2020. Information gathered in each region concerned: agricultural production and yields; use of production factors; agricultural product prices; rainfall data; availability of agricultural products; and the main catastrophes and disasters recorded during the year.
