> FAO's GIEWS update expects above-average 2016 crop production in Sudan after a favourable rainy season that started on time in June and lasted until mid-October. Some dry spells in September hurt crops in South Kordofan and North Darfur, and localised flooding caused some losses, while locust outbreaks were minimal.
