Almost six months have passed since Tunisia last had more than 500mm of rainfall, and those few drops could not save the harvests of countless farmers across the country.
Rising temperatures, longer summers and the absence of rain are increasing pressure on already depleted groundwater sources and widening what experts call “the map of thirst” for the population of the North African nation.
As the country experiences its sixth consecutive year of drought, with most dams and reservoirs almost empty, farmers feel helpless as lands they have inherited dry up, plants die and animals barely survive on the dwindling food.

Long queues of Egyptians on the hunt for sugar have become a common sight in Cairo neighbourhoods over the past week in the middle of a severe shortage in supply that has driven prices to record highs.
Sugar is the latest product to soar in price during Egypt's worst economic crisis in living memory, with an increasing number of the country's 105 million people unable to afford basic goods because of rampant inflation and stagnating wages.

As the year draws to a close, commodity markets have quieted down from the more volatile price movements that have characterized the past two years. With the exception of rice, prices for most grains and oilseeds are 15 to 20 percent below January 2022 levels. Yet, even rice prices have fallen back from recent highs as global production prospects look more favorable than they did in late summer. Despite a slowing global economy, demand for agricultural products remains strong and is expected to hit record levels in the 2023/24 marketing season. Lower prices mean reduced profitability for grain and oilseed farmers though lower costs for fuel and fertilizer will help mitigate that impact.

In the Middle East and North Africa, wheat planting continues with rainfall deficits impacting parts of western North Africa. Elsewhere, agro-climatic conditions are generally favourable. In Southern Africa, wheat harvesting is mostly complete under favourable conditions. Planting of main season cereals is continuing under mixed conditions due to delayed rainfall onset, and forecast El Niño-induced dry conditions are likely to impact cropping outcomes in south and central areas (See Regional Outlook Pg. 13). In Central and South Asia, conditions are
