Resumen
Descripción
Cereal prices registered sharp unseasonal increases during the period between September 2011 and February 2012, due to shortages in production. The country is undergoing a serious food crisis with some 5.4 million people are estimated to be food insecure. Agencies agree that the situation is likely to worsen in the upcoming months, as food reserves will be depleted. Major drivers of the current food crisis are both drought, which resulted in food shortages, and the current fighting in Mali , which is causing a huge influx of refugees particularly in Northern and Western Niger. The Government, together with humanitarian community, is attempting to prevent a further deterioration of the food security situation.
