Mali

-
Household incomes in northern Mali are lower than usual due to the impacts of conflict. Throughout the Sahel, local cereal prices are higher than the five‐year average. For rural households, market access is particularly difficult. Emergency needs remain high in these areas.
-
Conflict during the first half of 2012 severely disrupted the normal trade flows that supply northern Mali. However, imports of staple foods, primarily from Algeria have allowed urban markets to remain adequately supplied.
-
Although trade volumes are expected to remain lower than usual, adequate quantities of staple foods are likely in urban markets. Prices are likely to drop with upcoming harvests but will remain higher than average.
-
Between August and December the current Crisis (IPC Phase 3) should gradually improve to Stress (IPC Phase 2) with the expansion of ongoing and scheduled humanitarian assistance programs in the north and September‐December cereal harvests.

Occasionally, FEWS NET will publish a Special Report that serves to provide an in-depth analysis of food security issues of particular concern that are not covered in FEWS NET’s regular monthly reporting. These reports may focus on a specific factor driving food security outcomes anywhere in the world during a specified period of time. For example, in 2019, FEWS NET produced a Special Report on widespread flooding in East Africa and its associated impacts on regional food security.
