Food access has temporarily improved due to a favorable harvest. However, the effects of drought are still being felt. Crisis outcomes are expected to continue in several provinces, where recovery from below-average production and limited labor opportunities is slow.

These provinces include Daykundi, Faryab, Ghor, Nimroz, Badakshan, and Kunar. The recent harvest and stable prices have supported market food access, but the gains are not enough to offset the impacts of accumulated shocks. Further details on the situation and expected outcomes are available, including information on other regions where Stressed outcomes are expected through at least September.
