Food production in South Sudan has increased by more than 35% between 2011 and 2012, according to report from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Food Programme (WFP).
The increase can be attributed to factors such as good rains, improved cultivation practices and expanded area under cultivation.
The report, however, noted that the food security remains a major concern, with 40% of the South Sudan's population - or one million people - likely to have trouble getting enough
