Chad

Planting of millet has started in the Sudanian part of the country and will continue until July. The planting of sorghum will start in June. Cumulative rainfall in the last month has been below-average across the southern regions (varying from 30%-40% below-average in some regions and 20%-25% below-average in others). Additionally, temperatures in the last month have been above-average (ca. 1oC-3oC above-average). As a result, a slight delay of the main cropping season is observed in the southern regions. Particularly affected are the regions of Logone Occidental, Logone Oriental and Mayo-Kebbi Ouest, where ca. 60%-90% of active crop area is affected by a greenness anomaly. Less affected are the regions of Mandoul, Moyen-Chari and Tandjile, where ca. 30%-40% of active crop area is affected by a greenness anomaly. It is still early in the season and there is a wide margin for improvement. The Copernicus C3S Multimodel seasonal rainfall forecast for the June-August 2025 period points to above-average rainfall conditions across the country. According to the latest Cadre Harmonisé analysis (March 2025), more than 3.3 million people (18.6% of the population analyzed) are projected to be in critical acute food insecurity state (Phase 3 or above) for the period of June-August 2025.
