 | | Interviews were carried out with the main regional actors at the level of each of the departments and/or districts visited, on each occasion holding detailed discussions with the various technical services in order to collect the necessary information for an assessment of the effects of the locust infestation and drought on agricultural production. |
 | | The damage was particularly bad as regards millet, fl-eyed peas, sesame and, to a lesser extent, groundnut in the Fatick region. |
 | | This is particularly the case in the region of Kaolack and, to a lesser extent, the region of Fatick where effective locust control measures were taken as soon as the insects made their first appearance. |
