Why this matters
The recent Joint Market Monitoring Initiative market overview highlights the persistent challenges facing South Sudan's markets, with the Minimum Standard Survival and Market Economy Basket costs increasing by 16% in June 2026. This trend, combined with a 22% increase in the food basket, suggests that the country's lean season may be even more severe than in 2025. The high taxation, currency depreciation, and poor infrastructure reported by traders as key barriers to trade and restocking underscore the structural constraints that affect market pricing. The significant increases in MSSMEB costs in specific locations, such as Ganyiel and Abyei Town, also indicate that some areas are more vulnerable to market disruptions. With 25% of assessed markets classified as having limited functionality, the ability of local markets to provide essential items is compromised, exacerbating the humanitarian situation in South Sudan.
