A below average nacas harvest expected in Bié, Huambo, and Huila
  • The negative effects on food security of the ongoing macroeconomic shocks in Angola are somewhat outweighing the positive effects of the largely favorable 2023 cereal harvest. The exchange rate has stabilized, but month-on-month and year-on-year inflation are increasing. Overall, staple food price increases are outpacing any increases in poor households’ income. 
  • Poor households in Bié, Huambo, and Huila were unable to plant at normal levels for the second agricultural season (nacas) due to poor weather conditions, including low humidity. Crop production from this season is expected to be low, which will negatively affect food security in these rural communities. 
  • During the upcoming 2023-2024 main agricultural season, poor households will likely face lower access to inputs and, driven by the forecast El Niño, below average October 2023 to March 2024 main season rainfall. As a result, lower-than-normal agricultural labor opportunities and below-average crop and livestock production are likely. 
  • In drought-affected areas of the southwest (Namibe, and Cunene, and Huíla), Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes currently exist, but Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes are expected by September. Similarly, in Bié and Huambo, Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes are likely present currently, but deterioration to Crisis (IPC Phase 3) is expected during the upcoming lean season.
