agro-climatic conditions, preliminary crop estimates indicate
that cereal production levels exceeded expectations in three
regions of Niger by about 5 million metric tons (MT) in 2012.
These estimates validate earlier forecasts that predicted good
agricultural production this season. However, heavy rains in
August resulted in the flooding of 10,000 hectares, leaving
production losses at more than 27,200 MT. Among children aged 6
to 59 months, global acute malnutrition (GAM) prevalence stands
at 14.8 per cent, close to the World Health Organization (WHO)
emergency threshold of 15 per cent and severe acute malnutrition
(SAM) prevalence is 3 per cent1. Ch
