		Officials in Niger say that millions in Niger are relying on food aid to survive because the country suffered a shortfall of 223,000 tons of millet, maize and sorghum in the 2004-2005 harvest.
		The next two months are important so that subsistence farmers and their families in the southern area of Niger can make it through to October when hopefully harvesting starts again.
