    Crop production: Production of wheat and barley slightly improved in 2017 compared to previous year due better rainfall and improved access to agricultural land in some areas. Livestock: Over the past two years, the herd sizes have stabilized albeit at a very low level. Displacement: About two in five people are on the move inside the country. Humanitarian access: Overall, there is an improvement in terms of humanitarian access compared to last year with some of the “besieged areas” now consider ed “hard-to-reach”. Markets: Due to the overall improved security situation and opening of supply routes, trade is slowly recovering throughout the country and urban markets appear to function well. Livelihood trends: With relatively improving trends in access and market functionality, livelihood opportunities in the formal and informal sector have slightly improved compared to the previous year. Food consumption and dietary diversity: Over 30 percent of households has a diet characterised by p oor quality and quantity. Coping strategies: Syrians apply a high degree of food coping strategies which is a signal of the stress they are facing because of food shortage. Food assistance needs: Based on the available data, the mission estimates that 6.9 million Syrians are food insecure in terms of current consumption.
