Haiti - Economy : High prices accentuate food insecurity 28/04/2020 10:11:43 FEWS NET notes that the socio-political situation remains calm, despite some panic movements observed in recent days in certain markets and supermarkets. However, moderate inflation remains, especially for food, which continues to affect the poorest households. At the same time, favorable rains prompted farmers to start preparations for the spring campaign. In almost all regions, planting, notably of Congo peas, cassava, beans and corn, among others, is underway. This resulted in a slight rebound in demand for agricultural workers. However, due to the high price of food, poor households will continue to adopt crisis and stress strategies to maintain their basic food consumption. Food insecurity in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) and Stress (IPC Phase 2) continues, with a gradual increase in the number of people in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) until the harvest of spring in June, after which this number should start to decrease.
