Food security in the United Republic of Tanzania is being impacted by irregular seasonal rains. This erratic distribution of rainfall is affecting the yields of certain crops. The price of maize, a key crop, has been relatively stable, with the national average price in May similar to the same time last year.

Further information on the food security situation, including areas with acute food insecurity, is available from the GIEWS Country Brief, which provides a more detailed snapshot of the current situation in the United Republic of Tanzania and neighboring countries.
