Food security concerns are rising in parts of the region. Poor households in the Dry Corridor and Choluteca are expected to face significant challenges through September 2026. Agricultural production is likely to be reduced due to below-average rainfall and high temperatures.

This will lead to households relying on markets earlier than usual, which can be a struggle due to elevated staple food and fertilizer prices. Further information on the situation and its expected impact on the local area is available from ReliefWeb, which provides updates on the region's food security outlook through January 2027.
