Synopsis (short abstract) Rainfall deficits since the start of the cropping season in northern Cabo Delgado and Nampula provinces have negatively affected crops, curbing cereal production prospects in 2021. The ongoing conflict in Cabo Delgado Province and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have heightened households’ vulnerability and are expected to aggravate conditions in 2021. The 2021 cyclone season is still active and more cyclones could further undermine food availability and access in the north.

    GIEWS Update - the Republic of Madagascar, 9 February 2021
    Drought curbs 2021 production prospects, heightening the risk of a sharp deterioration in food insecurity
    2021
    Also available in:
    Significant rainfall deficits in the southern regions have caused a decline in the area planted to staple foods and led to poor vegetation conditions in cropped areas, curbing production expectations in 2021. The foreseen production decline would follow several consecutive years of below-average harvests and would likely trigger an increase in the prevalence and severity of food insecurity, with several districts already nearing critical levels of severe acute malnutrition. The adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have further heightened households’ vulnerability to food insecurity.
