Price monitoring and analysis country brief - Mali

Descripción

Thanks to the 2010 bumper crop, cereal prices remained relatively low, though slightly increasing due to seasonal patterns. Food security is generally stable, but pockets of food insecurity exist particularly in pastoral areas due to lean season and water shortages. Agencies classify the food security situation as stressed (IPC Phase 2). Conflict in Libya has posed a threat to internal security due to the return of armed groups fighting for Ghedafi. The Government is supporting the 2011-20 12 agricultural season with its input subsidy program.
