Fruitful Meeting between CIHEAM Montpellier and the Agricultural University of Tirana
Posted on April 8, 2024
The CIHEAM Montpellier was pleased to welcome Prof. Elena Kokthi and Prof. Fatmir Guri from the Agricultural University of Tirana, Albania, within the framework of the ERASMUS+ mobility program with Albania (Magali Maire, project coordinator).
This meeting was an opportunity to consider prospects for collaboration between teacher-researchers from both institutions, in particular on sustainable food systems in Albania and more widely in the Western Balkans, but also on the supervision of students from the CIHEAM Montpellier (Master MIDAS) as part of their master’s internship in Albania. Discussions also led to the organization of a training course on geographic information systems to be held in September 2024 at the CIHEAM Montpellier, in which 10 Albanian teachers will take part.
A meeting with the Director of the CIHEAM Montpellier also provided an opportunity to discuss current and future cooperation projects.

MED-Amin: 1st Harvest Forecasting Bulletin 2024
Just released: the first MED-Amin bulletin on 2024 harvest forecasting in the Mediterranean region!
This bulletin gives an overview of cereal crops’ evolution in the Mediterranean region, as well as early qualitative forecasting of the 2023-2024 campaign, with particular focus on soft wheat, durum wheat and barley.
Winter anomalies primarily impacting the western MED-Amin regions: The start into the 2024 cereal campaign was predominantly affected by prolonged dry weather conditions in the Western Mediterranean region. Winter cereals in Western Maghreb are already been hampered. However, crops in the Iberian Peninsula have recovered, following significant and well distributed rainfall since mid-January. Over-wet conditions have hindered normal planting and agronomic operations in the Atlantic regions of France, and to a lesser extent in Italy. Conversely, crop conditions are generally favourable in other Mediterranean regions, with a positive outlook so far.

MED-Amin network, gathering 13 Mediterranean countries and coordinated by the CIHEAM, aims to reduce prices volatility in agricultural markets. This initiative lays the foundation for an early warning system strengthening food security in the region.

MED-Amin Newsletter #49
Med-Amin celebrates its 10th birthday.
Recent years have seen the Covid-19 pandemic, soaring prices for agricultural inputs, and the conflict in Ukraine, all of which have led to heightened geopolitical and commercial tensions. In this highly sensitive context, particularly for countries already suffering the consequences of climate change with violent and sometimes recurrent meteorological events, the MEDAmin network has been able to speak with a Mediterranean voice. It has succeeded in bringing together the region’s stakeholders, continuing the gradual construction of early warning tools to better anticipate crises and dealing with them when they arise or become chronic.
Thanks to the remarkable work of its National Focal Points and associated partner organizations, the MED-Amin network has gradually managed to consolidate its achievements during this turbulent period, and to strengthen dialogue and trust, as well as decision-making and monitoring systems (…) 🔎 to be continued online.
