Biomasse Biomass production analysis report for 2024 in Niger 25/10/202406/12/2024 Rainy season very favorable to the regeneration and development of pastoral resources on the Niger Surplus biomass production across all pastoral areas Thousands of animals lost in floods caused by heavy rains Animal mobility disrupted by insecurity, particularly in the regions of Tillabéri, northwest Tahoua, south Maradi and Diffa, to which are added recurring animal thefts. Difficult economic context for breeders, faced with a pastoral lean season made harder by soaring food prices Report downloadable here Data downloadable here

Biomasse Analysis report on biomass production in 2023 in the Sahel 01/11/202312/11/2023 Biomass production globally close to normal in the Sahelian zone of West Africa Biomass production higher than normal in the southwest of Mauritania, extending to the northern border of Senegal and the central Sahel region and in Burkina Faso Very low biomass production in the northern limit of the Sahelian belt Very low biomass production in the Lake Chad basin area Negative biomass production anomalies along the coastal countries, particularly in Benin High vulnerability in the northern border of the Sahel Security issues severely hinder the mobility of herds and access to pastures and water resources in the Central Sahel. This is in addition to mobility restrictions towards the coastal countries, especially Benin and Togo Report downloadable here
