Early lean season in Southern Africa
Southern Africa could face an early start to the 2019-2020 lean season and abnormally high food assistance needs, according to a new alert from FEWS Net .

This deficit may negatively impact maize production, livestock conditions, and agricultural labor opportunities in the region.
