The present bulletin is a general outlook on the cereal harvest in the Mediterranean region . It provides early qualitative forecasting of the 2020 harvest on three cereals crops: Soft wheat, durum wheat and barley. The first bulletin provides an assessment of the situation at the end of March will be followed by a second assessment of the situation at the end of April and published in June.

This initiative was progressively developed since 2016 by the MED-Amin network, using a general approach similar to the one
implemented by GEOGLAM for the Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) thanks to the collaboration with the Joint Research Cenger of the European Commission (JRC- MARS Unit). The MED-Amin network, gathering 13 countries of the Mediterranean region and coordinated by the CIHEAM, aims to support decision-makers in cost-effective management of the cereal markets in the region. This initiative lays the foundation for an early warning system towards food security issues in the region.
