# Crop Prospects and Food Situation, No. 2, July 2019 - World | ReliefWeb

> The FAO-style Crop Prospects and Food Situation report says Southern Africa faces significant production declines from cyclone damage and rainfall deficits, while East Africa's first-season harvests were reduced by dryness. South America is forecast to see a production upturn in 2019, and Far East Asia cereal output is forecast to rise marginally.

## Why it matters

A South American rebound and modest Asian gains point to ample coarse grain supply, which is bearish for corn and sorghum export prices, though Central American maize concerns offer limited support.
