The majority of the displaced are from the productive breadbasket areas in the western part, and the crisis has already resulted in the loss of about 300,000 tonnes of the 2007 crop harvests, which will reduce overall food availability both locally and nationally in 2008. In addition, those displaced and confined in the camps may not fully cultivate their farms during the 2008 long‐rain cultivation season. Land preparation for the 2008 planting season has been significantly delayed with a significant reduction in prepared land due to tensions, insecurity and high input costs. This is expected to reduce the 2008 harvest of maize, the national staple food, meaning likely food shortages even in 2009.   EP-2008-000042-BRA Epidemic Brazil As of 26 March, 2008 the state of Rio de Janeiro is experiencing a dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever epidemic.
