The objective is to restore 80% of pre-drought level of production Percentage change over the 2009-11 average national production of wheat of the most affected farmers to avoid the risk of destocking. Crop production will depend again on weather during 2013. The second most affected crop in 2012 was wheat. The objective is to restore 80% pre-drought level of production of Percentage change over the 2009-11 average national production of corn the most affected farmers to avoid the risk of not having sufficient seeds for planting, animal destocking, and insufficient food for human consumption. Crop production will depend again on weather during 2013. Percentage change over the 2009-11 average number of pigs, chicken, and The experience of the 2007 drought showed severe destocking of pigs, chickens, and to a lesser extent cattle. Targets cattle where extrapolated from the 2007 experience (see economic analysis).
