This report provides a summary of changes to regional maize availability estimates and markets in countries monitored by FEWS NET and WFP in southern Africa. It updates FEWS NET’s Regional Maize Supply and Market Outlook Report published in August 2017 and follows FEWS NET rapid market assessments that took place across the region in November. It also draws insights on staple food trade from the FEWS NEWT/WFP Informal Cross Border Monitoring System. Similar reports have been produced simultaneously for the DRC and Madagascar to provide the reader with more insight into current and projected staple food supplies and market trends in these countries
