UNITED NATIONS Austin Ekeler Womens Jersey , March 1 (Xinhua) -- The World Food Programme (WFP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said that three years of conflict and ongoing displacements in the Central African Republic (CAR) continue to disrupt agriculture and severely constrain people's access to food, a UN spokesman told reporters here Tuesday.


"The country's overall crop production in 2015 remained 54 percent below the pre-crisis average," Farhan Haq, the deputy UN spokesman, said at a daily news briefing here. "Half of the population faces hunger Tyrod Taylor Womens Jersey , according to the two agencies."


WFP and FAO are working together to provide seeds and food during the planting period, he said. "This is the time when people need the maximum help possible as it is also the lean season, when people struggle to have enough food to eat before the next harvest."


Cereal harvests continued to decline last year, with production 70 percent lower than the pre-crisis average. Overall crop production in 2015 amounted to 838,671 tonnes Thomas Davis Sr Womens Jersey , around one million tonnes less than the average before the crisis.


"The latest numbers are cause for concern not only because people skip meals and cut portions, but also because they opt for less nutritious foods that provide far less of the proteins and vitamins they need," FAO Country Representative Jean-Alexandre Scaglia said in a press release.


"Some 75 percent of people in CAR depend on agriculture, and with the planting season starting in less than two months, boosting agriculture now is crucial to revitalizing the economy and to stability in the country Michael Badgley Womens Jersey ," he said.


"The situation is dire. Half of the population faces hunger," said Bienvenu Djossa, the WFP country director in CAR. "It is crucial that we continue helping the most vulnerable, who need emergency food assistance to survive. WFP and FAO are also working together to provide seeds to plant and food to eat during the planting period."


The CAR government has begun a strategic effort to revive the agricultural sector and facilitate the reintegration of vulnerable people by helping youth and family farms improve their capacity to produce.


In 2016, FAO and WFP Denzel Perryman Womens Jersey , with the help of partners, will support these efforts through longer-term programmes that aim to save and strengthen livelihoods and build resilience. As part of the joint seeds protection programme, FAO aims to provide seeds and tools to 95,000 farming families while WFP plans to provide them with food rations.


FAO is appealing for 86 million U.S. dollars to support 1.55 million people with inputs to produce crops and keep their livestock healthy, and strengthen the government's efforts to boost food security.


WFP requires 89 million dollars to respond to the urgent needs of 1.4 million people until the end of July in CAR Dan Feeney Womens Jersey , and in neighbouring countries hosting CAR refugees. To date, about half of the required funding has been secured.

DAR ES SALAAM, July 31 (Xinhua) -- The government of Tanzania and Barrick Gold Corporation Kyzir White Womens Jersey , the largest shareholder of Acacia Mining Plc, on Monday began talks seeking to end a long standing dispute over royalties Acacia allegedly owes the east African nation's gold exports.


A statement issued by the Directorate of Presidential Communications in the commercial capital Dar es Salaam said the talks were between President John Magufuli's special committee led by the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Palamagamba Kabudi and Barrick Gold Corporation Chief Executive Officer Richard Williams.


"Our committee is well prepared and we are looking forward to having fruitful talks," said Kabudi shortly before the talks started.


For his part, Williams said Barrick Gold Corporation was looking forward to reaching an amicable conclusion at the end of the talks.


In June this year Derwin James Womens Jersey , President Magufuli met with Prof John Thornton, Chairman of Barrick Gold Canada, to discuss the mineral sand saga after Magufuli received two reports on the exports of copper concentrates.

However, after the proposed talks were seemingly delayed, President Magufuli on July 21 threatened to shut down foreign gold mining companies if the proposed talks continued to be delayed.
