    Nearly 1 million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar are entirely dependent on humanitarian aid to meet their basic food needs. In 2023, reduced food rations and devastating cyclones further compromised food security within the refugee camps, leading to a decline in refugees’ daily food consumption. Continued support for both the Rohingya and Bangladeshi communities in Cox’s Bazar is crucial to address their urgent food security challenges. By enhancing agricultural practices and supporting local livelihoods, we can help ensure a more resilient and food-secure future for Rohingya refugees and their host communities. This document provides an overview of FAO's requirements within the framework of the Joint Response Plan for the Rohingya Humanitarian Crisis in Bangladesh.

    Nearly 1 million Rohingya refugees live in Cox’s Bazar, the world’s largest refugee camp, and are entirely dependent on humanitarian assistance. Already densely populated and affected by chronic poverty and climatic shocks, the Bangladeshi host community faces their own food security and livelihood challenges. As limited resources are overwhelmed and ecosystems increasingly come under strain, cost-effective emergency agricultural assistance is needed to enable host and refugee communities to meet their food needs themselves. For example, refugee families can secure yields more than double the value of every dollar FAO invests in vegetable production inputs.

    Since 25 August 2017, 688 000 Rohingya refugees escaping violence and persecution in Myanmar have settled in camps, settlements and within host communities in Cox’s Bazar district, Bangladesh, bringing the total number of refugees in the area to more than 900 300. The large number of new arrivals has placed extensive pressure on the environment and on local services, and increased the need for emergency food and nutrition support for refugees and host communities.
