Current Statement

 

With the lean season underway, acute food insecurity will remain Minimal

  • The lean season is underway and will continue through August. Poor households are meeting their needs and will continue to have food access from own production from the Primera season (through late August/September), therefore remaining in Minimal acute food insecurity (Phase 1, IPC 2.0) through the end of the projection period, September 2013.
  • The Primera harvest yield is likely to be average as forecasts indicate normal rainfall through July. No major effects to crops are anticipated despite the upcoming canícula. The seasonal forecast indicates this period will be less dry than usual and unlikely to impact Primera production. Localized below-average rainfall may impact final production yields in the dry corridor. Close monitoring is needed.
  • Coffee rust prevalence will reduce harvest and labor demand and wages by at least 30 percent in the next harvest (October 2013 – March 2014).
