Resumen
Descripción
Food prices in Malawi have been generally stable in recent months after having decreased further from August prices. Rice prices have decreased much during the reporting period (September/December 2010). The country is not affected by civil insecurity however the mid season dry spell caused severe localized crop losses especially in southern regions, affecting food security in these areas. Although the number of food insecure people has dramatically declined, the country is still faced w ith a serious hunger problem. The Government has temporarily lifted the maize export ban and continues to support agriculture through the ongoing input subsidy programme.
