INTRODUCTION

The present document provides a preliminary forecast of crop yield expected at the end of thecurrent growing season. Forecasts are provided from halfway the growing season (70 growingdays). Although at that time the most critical stages of crop development have passed, the finaloutcome may still be subject to some change depending on how the second half of the season

proceeds. Our forecasts are updated regularly with the most recent satellite data and we adviseyou to check our website (www.ears.nl) for the most recent bulletin.

METHOD

FAST is the acronym of Food Assessment by Satellite Technology , a Meteosat based crop yieldforecasting system developed and operated by EARS in Delft, the Netherlands. The assessmentof crop growth conditions and the crop yield forecasts are based on visible and thermal infraredhourly data. These data are processed in 3 steps:(1) Hourly Meteosat data are processed to daily average values of surface temperature, airtemperature, global radiation, net radiation, potential and actual evapotranspiration.(2) Radiation and evapotranspiration data enter into a crop growth model, which simulates crop

yield on a daily basis.(3) Distributed crop yield results are integrated for crop growing areas, countries and provinces.Urban areas, forest, water and barren land are excluded. 

CROPThe crop calendar in Figure 1 showsthe vegetative period (green), themid-season period (grey) and theharvesting period (yellow) for thecountries in the region. The yieldresponse of the plant toevapotranspiration deficits during

the growing season is quantified bythe yield response factor Ky, basedon the relationship described byDoorenbos & Kassam (1986):

(1-RY) = Ky (1-RE)

RY is the relative yield and RE therelative evapotranspiration. Drought sensitivityof a crop changes during the growing season.For maize, Ky is 0.4 during establishment,increases to 1.5 during the vegetative period,is kept constant at 1.5 during flowering andyield formation and decreases to 0.5 during

ripening.

  EARS   FAST Crop Yield Forecast 

Maize - East Africa - 15 September 2008

EARS – Satellite Data for Water and Food  2

SUMMARY

Kenya and Eritrea face reduced yields of respectively -7% and -4% relative to the 5 yr average.In Sudan water availability has increased past half month and better growing conditions are seenin Darfur and Kordofan. In the regions south of Lake Victoria, yield decreases (-15%) areexpected in the east of Burundi and the north of Tanzania. Slightly above average yields arepredicted for Rwanda and south Uganda. Low yields in the north of Tanzania are compensatedby high yields in the centre of the country, and therefore at national level maize outputs areexpected to be closely above average (+2%). In Rwanda crop water availability has improved thepast half month and a moderate increase of 4% is foreseen. In the maize growing area's ofSomalia crop water availability during the growing season has decreased the last half month anddeviation from the previous 5 years is around -1%, while the difference with 2007 remainspositive (+4%). Yields expectations are at average in Ethiopia (+0.1%) but lower than the

previous year (-7%) and there are considerable differences between the west and the east of thecountry.

DETAILS

In Kenya drastically reduced maize outputs (-15%) and a decrease of yield in large parts of theagricultural areas in the country is anticipated due to drought. Especially in the Rift Valleyprovince low yields are seen in Laikipia, Kajiado and Narok In Uganda, water availability is goodand relatively normal in most parts of the country. In Tanzania, water availability and cropprospects are better than normal in the central part of the country while in the northern part yielddecreases are expected. In Tanga, Rukwa, north Mbeya, south Tabora and south Singida aboveaverage yields (+5%) are seen. In the north, large parts of provinces like Shinyanga, Arusha,Mara, Mwanza, Kigoma suffer from drought and below average productions are foreseen.

In western regions of Ethiopia, the water availability for the crops was very good and averagehigh yields of 5% to 11% are expected in regions like Benishangul Gumuz, Gambela, westernpart of Oromia and Amhara and the northern part of SNNP. By contrast, other regions in the eastof Ethiopia like Afar, Somali and east Oromia suffer from water shortages and show considerablelocal differences, with regional yield decreases of -18% in Afar and -3% in Somali.

In Central Sudan water availability has improved and yields are now expected to be higher thanthe 5 years average in West Darfur, North Darfur and Kordofan. In North Bahr el Ghazar andWarab, harvests could be damaged by the floodings, so reported difference yields could be lowerthan is reported here (+5% and +0.3%).

In Somalia, the growing areas in general show relatively normal growing conditions with positive

deviations from the 5-years average of about 2% in Shabelle and slightly below normal conditionsin Hiran (-2%) and Bay (-0.2%). In general, the yield prospects in Somalia are better than theprevious year except in Woqooyi. In non-cropland areas of northern parts of Somalia andprovinces like Nugaal and Saraag water availability for the vegetation has improved a lot the pastdekads and is now above the 5 yrs average.

MAPS

The maps on next page show the Meteosat derived difference yield (DY) relative to the 5 yraverage (figure 2a) and to the previous year (figure 2b). The actual growing areas, as defined byFAO, are shown in figure 3a and b.

TABLES

The following tabulated data are provided on next pages:

• Table 1 : Difference Yield forecasts at country level

• Table 2 : Difference Yield forecasts at provincial level

The difference yields for each province/country have been determined by spatial integration ofpixel values within the growing areas of the crop. Data are provided for two growing areas:

• All growing areas (figure 3b)

• Main growing areas (figure 3a)

The Difference Yield (DY) presents the forecasted 2008 yield in terms of % deviation from areference yield. In the tables difference yields relative to two references are presented:

• DY08/07 : Forecasted difference yield relative to the yield in 2007

• DY08/avg : Forecasted difference yield relative to the average yield of the years 2003-2007

ADMINISTRATIVE BOUNDARIES

National, regional or provincial averages are calculated based on the administrative boundarylayers from the Global Administrative Unit Layers (GAUL) system.
