Resumen
Descripción
Rice prices have shown an increasing trend during 2011. The high dependence on imports makes local prices very volatile and follow the upward pressures of the international prices. Overall food security situation has improved thanks to satisfactory local rice harvest, however some 131,000 people in southern counties are at risk of food insecurity due to poor production. Although refugees from Ivory Coast are returning home, 69,561 people are estimated to be in the country. The Government suspended import tariffs on rice in an attempt to lower local rice prices.
