CONT

Le blé est la principale culture vivrière, et représente plus des trois quarts de la production de céréales vivrières.

CONT

En 1993/94 et 1994/95, la production de céréales vivrières a baissé à cause des intempéries - sécheresses et inondations - et de l'effet dissuasif de la chute des prix du riz provoquée par la récolte record de l'année précédente.
