SENEGAL NO ALERT Monthly Food Security Update WATCH NOVEMBER 2006 WARNING EMERGENCY ALERT LEVEL: SENEGAL NO ALERT Monthly Food Security Update WATCH NOVEMBER 2006 WARNING EMERGENCY Summary On the whole, a review of the 2006/2007 growing season shows normal levels of precipitation compared with the historical average for 1971-2000. However, parts of Matam, Linguère, Thiès and Goudiry are reporting rainfall deficits, while the Podor, Saint Louis, Dakar, Mbour, Kaolack, Ziguinchor and Cap Skirring stations are all showing surpluses. A look at streamflow conditions for this past season shows small flood waves on waterways around the country and a water deficit situation since the beginning of the rainy season. Though plant health conditions have been relatively quiet, there were reports of grain-eating birds threatening irrigated rice crops in the Senegal River Valley late in the season. The downward trend in grain prices since the end of September continued into the month of November. There is a slight improvement in the levels of grain reserves, particularly in the north (in the Saint-Louis and Louga regions). The juxtaposition of these two factors has significantly improved the household food situation.

Food security conditions After a tough lean period for the Senegalese population, there has been a visible improvement in the food situation since the last dekad of September with the first round of harvests of cowpea, maize and millet crops and shipments of watermelons and short-cycle groundnut crops to market. The consumption of these green crops has eased food problems in rural areas but, more importantly, the sale of these crops has brought in extra income. Progress of the 2006-2007 growing season The 2006-2007 growing season got off to a good start in June. The rains gradually settled in, allowing for the planting of crops, with this year’s planting season extended until the end of July and the beginning of August. There was a dry spell late in June in the Ziguinchor region and in the first and second dekads of July in the eastern part of the country. These “average” rainfall conditions and the low rainfall rates reported in Guinea Conakry have created critical streamflow conditions, similar to conditions in a so-called dry year, with waterways around the country reporting low water levels, which is expected to limit flood-recession and off-season crop production.

However, this respite of sorts was disrupted by a heavy concentration of grain-eating birds threatening irrigated rice crops in the Senegal River Valley. On the whole, the condition of pastureland is satisfactory, except in the Matam – Linguère – Tambacounda triangle, which has seen very little rain. This triangle, which is the grazing area of choice for migratory animal herds out of the north, will be under very heavy pressure during the dry season, particularly in the wake of poor pasture production since October and with the area consumed by brush fires. The combination of average rainfall conditions, dry spells, a certain amount of pressure from plant health issues and problems with preparations for the growing season has reduced the size of areas under crops, as well as crop yields, particularly in the case of groundnuts. This, in turn, had led to the conversion of fields generally planted in groundnuts to other crops, mainly to millet. Furthermore, current harvest forecasts are down from last year’s figures. Thus, harvest forecasts estimate grain production at 1,084,295 MT, which is down 24 percent from last season and 4 percent below the five-year average. At-risk areas According to data collected from agricultural and Map 1: Zones at risk (red areas) meteorological experts on risk factors associated with the early part of the rainy season (the rainfall deficit in the southeast and localized 10-to-20-day-long dry spells), the delay in the provision of seeds, fertilizer and farm implements, limited supplies and corresponding quality issues, pest infestations (grasshoppers, caterpillars) and the presence of grain-eating birds, the areas potentially vulnerable to food insecurity problems appear to lie in: • the northeastern and eastern parts of the country; • Kaffrine department (the rural communities of Maka Yop, Malem Hoddar, Ribo Escale); • Bambey department (the rural communities of Keur Samba Kane, Réfane, Gawane); and • Podor department (the Diéri area). Recommendations by the joint CILSS/FAO/FEWS NET Note: This map was drawn up based on findings by the mission and data furnished by mission call for an improvement in targeting procedures to agricultural officials. Source of data on vectors: CSE (Environmental Monitoring Center). Source: CILSS/FAO/FEWS NET Mission pinpoint actual at-risk communities and population groups in these areas. Markets In the wake of recent harvests, supplies of locally grown grain crops have visibly improved since last month on all markets monitored by FEWS NET. The downward trend in prices for locally grown grain crops since the end of September continued into the month of November. A comparison with October of this year shows prices down everywhere but on markets in the southern part of the country (in Kolda, Ziguinchor and Bignona), where prices have reportedly inched upwards. City marketplaces in Tambacounda (17.5 percent), Diourbel (16.8 percent) and Kaolack (12.8 percent) are reporting the steepest drops in prices (Figure 1). Prices are up from November of last year in Dakar, Diourbel and Kolda, but are down from last year in all other city marketplaces, particularly in Ziguinchor where prices have dropped by more than 22 percent. 2 SENEGAL: MONTHLY FOOD SECURITY UPDATE NOVEMBER 2006 Figure 1: Millet price trends on regional capitals (as of Figure 2: Millet price trends on rural markets (as of November 23, 2006) November 23, 2006) Average 2001-05 NOV 05 OCT 06 NOV 06 250 Average 2001-05 NOV 2005 OCT 2006 NOV 2005 275 225 250 200 225 175 200 175 150 150 125 125 100 100 75 75 Average millet price (FCAF/kg) price millet Average Average retail millet price (CFAF/kg) 50 50 25 25 0 BAMBEY GOUILLE MPAL OUROSSOGUI PASSY POROKHANE BIGNONA 0 MBEUTH R A IS R A CK GA U K TICK U O A A LA UNDA THIES D F KOLD LO T.L O INCHO AO S C U DIOURBEL K A MB ZIG A T Source of data: CSA/SIM (Food Security Commission / Market Source of data: CSA/SIM (Food Security Commission / Market Information System); Graphic by FEWS NET Information System); Graphic by FEWS NET November prices in the central part of the country (the Fatick, Kaolack, Louga and Thiès regions) are running below the five-year average for 2001-2005, while prices in all other regions are above-average, by more than 28 percent in the case of Kolda. Prices on rural markets are showing the same downward trend as on urban markets (Figure 2). Bignona was the only market posting a hike in prices (+5 percent). Both producer and retail prices on the Passy and Porokhane markets in crop-growing areas are down from the month of October. The retail price of millet is down by over 13 percent in Bambey, 7 percent in Gouille Mbeuth, Passy and Porokhane, 6 percent in Ourossogui and 4 percent in Mpal. November prices are up from the same time last year in Passy (+12 percent), Mpal (+10 percent), Gouille Mbeuth (+9 percent) and Porokhane (+7 percent). Prices on other rural markets (Bambey, Ourossogui and Bignona) are somewhat lower. A comparison with the average for 2001-05 shows the same trends as the comparison with November of last year. This year’s average harvests should mean a satisfactory food outlook, with some localized pressure. The success of efforts to offset local production deficits is largely dependent on grain imports from neighboring countries and the international market. 3.

  • Livelihood Zone Descriptions
    Government of Senegal COMPREHENSIVE FOOD SECURITY AND VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS (CFSVA) Livelihood Zone Descriptions WFP/FAO/SE-CNSA/CSE/FEWS NET Introduction The WFP, FAO, CSE (Centre de Suivi Ecologique), SE/CNSA (Commissariat National à la Sécurité Alimentaire) and FEWS NET conducted a zoning exercise with the goal of defining zones with fairly homogenous livelihoods in order to better monitor vulnerability and early warning indicators. This exercise led to the development of a Livelihood Zone Map, showing zones within which people share broadly the same pattern of livelihood and means of subsistence. These zones are characterized by the following three factors, which influence household food consumption and are integral to analyzing vulnerability: 1) Geography – natural (topography, altitude, soil, climate, vegetation, waterways, etc.) and infrastructure (roads, railroads, telecommunications, etc.) 2) Production – agricultural, agro-pastoral, pastoral, and cash crop systems, based on local labor, hunter-gatherers, etc. 3) Market access/trade – ability to trade, sell goods and services, and find employment. Key factors include demand, the effectiveness of marketing systems, and the existence of basic infrastructure. Methodology The zoning exercise consisted of three important steps: 1) Document review and compilation of secondary data to constitute a working base and triangulate information 2) Consultations with national-level contacts to draft initial livelihood zone maps and descriptions 3) Consultations with contacts during workshops in each region to revise maps and descriptions. 1. Consolidating secondary data Work with national- and regional-level contacts was facilitated by a document review and compilation of secondary data on aspects of topography, production systems/land use, land and vegetation, and population density.

  • SÉNÉGAL Rapport Spécial
    SENEGAL Special Report August 31, 2015 Poor start to the agropastoral season in central and northern areas KEY MESSAGES This year, farmers are resorting to short-cycle varieties of cowpea and Souna millet crops more than usual as a strategy to limit the negative effects of the late start of the rains on crop production in order to ensure near-average crop yields. With the likely downsizing of the land area planted in groundnuts, Senegal’s main cash crop, household incomes between December and March will likely be below average. The poor pastoral conditions between February and June severely affected pastoral incomes, which have been well below-average as a result of the decline in animal production and livestock prices. The larger than usual numbers of animal deaths have adversely affected the livelihoods of pastoral households, limiting their food access on local markets. However, the recent recovery of pastures and replenishment of watering holes have helped improve the situation in many pastoral areas. Food assistance from the government and its humanitarian partners is easing poor households’ food insecurity. Humanitarian food and non-food assistance and cash transfer programs will limit the use of atypical coping strategies (ex. borrowing and reducing food and nonfood expenditures) by recipient households. An examination of food prices on domestic markets shows prices for locally grown millet still slightly above-average and prices for regular broken rice, the main foodstuff consumed by Senegalese households, at below-average levels. However, despite these prices, the below-average incomes of poor agropastoral households is preventing many households from adequating accessing these food items.
