Key takeaway The median amount of low-quality wheat flour that can be purchased with a day's unskilled wage is 10 kg.
Food insecurity is a concern in several provinces. The median amount of low-quality wheat flour that can be purchased with a day's unskilled wage is 10 kg. However, 16 provinces have a lower purchasing power, meaning workers can afford less flour per day.
Nine provinces have a significant portion of their population in IPC Phase 3+ or worse, indicating a crisis. The provinces with the lowest and highest flour purchasing power are Nuristan and Nimroz, respectively. Further details on food prices and insecurity are available in the Afghanistan Food Prices & Food Insecurity Report, including methodology used to determine these findings.
