Resumen
Descripción
Bean prices have declined from peek levels of last year; however rice and maize prices have shown an increasing trend during the reference period. Nominal maize price has reached or exceeded the highest levels observed in 2008. Food security situation is generally stable apart from northern dry corridor and north east regions due a combination of crop losses in 2010 and high food prices. La Nina phenomenon has affected crop production in 2010 resulting in high food prices and depletion of stocks particularly in northern parts of the country. The Government has adopted price control measures to support consumers and an input subsidies programme to support producers.
