Key takeaway Poor households in Toliara II and Amboasary Atsimo are expected to face difficulties as they exhaust their food stocks earlier than usual.
Food security concerns are rising in the Grand South. Poor households in Toliara II and Amboasary Atsimo are expected to face difficulties as they exhaust their food stocks earlier than usual. This is due to below-average production, leading to increased reliance on markets where food prices are rising.
Crisis outcomes are anticipated to spread to other areas, including parts of Atsimo-Andrefana, Androy, and Anosy, from October. Other regions in the Grand South will likely experience stressed conditions through September. Further information on the situation is available from ReliefWeb, providing details on the expected outcomes and affected areas.
