Key Messages
Households’ average to above-average food stocks and regular imports of rice from international market continued to allow good access to basic food in May and in turn, a normal start to the lean season in June. Adequate imports and household stocks are meeting demand, and prices are remaining stable for staple foods, as is typical for this time of year.
With typical income-earning activities generating normal levels of income through September, poor, market-dependent households will continue to access to basic food through market purchases. Minimal acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 1) will be expected through at least September 2014.
