Food availability has improved due to better Yala harvests. However, poor households that rely heavily on markets continue to face challenges in purchasing power. This is largely due to increased costs of food, transportation, housing, and other essentials.

Seasonal income opportunities are expected to remain available, but wages may not be enough to offset household expenses.

Further details on the situation and expected outcomes are available, including information on different regions and the projected duration of current conditions through January 2027.
