Comments: Following a prolonged dry period during the 2012/13 cropping season (November-June), Namibia's main cereal crop output for 2013 is expected to suffer a severe decline. In some parts, the cumulative rains between January and March were approximately one-third of the average and a 50 per cent below average cereal production is expected. Livestock conditions are also deteriorating due to lack of water. On 17 May 2013, the President declared an emergency situation in the country as a result of drought and appealed to the international community for assistance. Over 300,000 people have been classified as food insecure and over 4,000 livestock have died.
