The performance of the October to December 2006 (short rains) season was exceptionally good, with above normal rainfall in most parts of the country. Areas dependant on the short rains and most pastoral areas received good rainfall, which has started the recovery process after several seasons of drought. Flooding in the eastern part of the country and in the Lake region resulted in an outbreak of Rift Valley Fever (RVF) and poor crop production respectively. National production is predicted to be 15%.
