Resumen
Descripción
Although domestic retail prices of maize meal have remained stable during the first half of 2011, prices are high constraining poorer households' access to food. According to the 2011 Lesotho Vulnerability Assessment Committee (LVAC), an estimated 514,000 people are food insecure. The heavy rains and flooding seriously affected agriculture, dampening cereal production and widely damaging the livestock sector. The government is supporting agricultural capacity through provision of inputs an d assisting the livestock sector through provision of veterinary products.
