Food availability has improved due to better Yala harvests. However, poor households that rely heavily on markets continue to face difficulties in purchasing power. This is attributed to high 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. Fishing incomes may be periodically constrained due to rough seas and high operating costs. Further details on the situation and expected outcomes are available, including projections through January 2027 and variations in different areas.
