    NAIROBI
    Heavy rains have negatively affected rice and vegetable production in parts of North Kivu’s Beni and Lubero areas, according to an FAO food security report received by IRIN today. It said affected areas included Mavivi, Munoli, Kasinga, Kitsumbiro, Magheria and Luhotu. An acute shortage of seeds was also reported in the area, FAO and its partners were planning to distribute seeds for tens of thousands of households in the Kivus as well as in Kisangani, the report said. NGOs were providing food-crop seeds to thousands of families in the Uvira area, including displaced populations, it added.
