IPC: Integrated Food Securit...

Current Statement

Minimal acute food insecurity through September, even with the lean season underway

The lean season is currently underway and will continue through August. Poor households are meeting their needs with less difficulty than last year. This Minimal (Phase 1, IPC 2.0) acute food insecurity outcome is due to good 2012 production, average incomes, and low and accessible consumer food prices.
The Primera season begins in April/May and the harvest is expected in August/September. The yield is likely to be near last year�s above-average production as rainfall is expected to be normal through July. Localized rainfall deficits and a moderate to severe can�cula (dry period in July/August) may impact production at the local level.
Coffee rust prevalence is three to four times higher than usual, reducing the 2013/2014 harvest, labor demand and wages by at least 30 to 40 percent.
