The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) anticipates the end of the collective breeding season for desert locusts in Morocco by next July. According to a recent bulletin, the FAO expects small swarms to move towards Mauritania and countries in the African Sahel region following the end of breeding in Morocco and Algeria. Simultaneously with this movement, the summer breeding season for desert locusts is predicted to begin. The FAO is monitoring the situation closely to assess potential impacts on food security in the region. This forecast provides crucial information for preventative measures and coordinated responses to mitigate potential locust plagues. The report originates from Hespress, a Moroccan online newspaper.
