Crisis outcomes are expected to continue in many areas through January 2027. Some households may face Emergency outcomes due to limited income and elevated food prices. Poor households will rely on markets for food through September.

The October harvest may bring temporary improvements in food and income access, particularly in central and southern areas. However, areas in the north and east are expected to remain in Crisis due to limited production. Further details on the situation and expected outcomes are available from the Ethiopia Food Security Outlook Update, which provides information on the impact of poor kiremt rainfall on food security.
