iciHaiti - Northeast : Excess moisture compromises bean and rice plantations 05/12/2018 08:24:10
The demand for farm workers is marginal, most very poor households engage in subsistence activities such as petty trading and the sale of coal. In border areas, migration is still an alternative to the deterioration of the country's socio-economic conditions. Between September and October, prices of imported rice and local maize increased slightly (1% and 3% respectively); that of black beans fell slightly (1%). Nevertheless, their prices remain above the five-year average, limiting food access for the poorest households. Most regions are reported to be food insecure Minimale (IPC Phase 1) and Stress (IPC Phase 2). A limited number of households in drought-affected areas (North-East), who are still struggling to recover, or who live in highly vulnerable localities in the Haut-Plateau, Nippes and North-West, may be in difficulty. Crisis (IPC Phase 3) Learn more about the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) : Phase 1 : Usually adequate and stable food access with moderate to low risk of sliding into Phase 3, 4, or 5. Phase 2 : Moderately / Borderline Food Insecure Borderline adequate food access with recurrent high risk (due to probable hazard events and high vulnerability) of sliding into Phase 3, 4, or 5. Phase 3 : Acute Food and Livelihood Crisis Highly stressed and critical lack of food access with high and above usual malnutrition and accelerated depletion of livelihood assets that, if continued, will slide the population into Phase 4 or 5 and / or likely result in chronic poverty. Phase 4 : Humanitarian Emergency Severe lack of food access with excess mortality, very high and increasing malnutrition, and irreversible livelihood asset stripping. Phase 5 : Famine / Humanitarian Catastrophe Extreme social upheaval with complete lack of food access and / or other basic needs where mass starvation, death, and displacement are evident.
