Key Messages
Below average and poorly distributed rains since the beginning of the October 2020 to May 2021 rainy season have led to large moisture deficits, resulting in drought and abnormal dryness over southern and central Madagascar. According USGS, cumulative rainfall across the southern half of Madagascar is now expected to be below average. The low level of rainfall to date has resulted in low water access for both human and livestock consumption. Below-average crop production is now expected in the south.
On monitored markets, staple food prices remain above last year and average levels. Cereal prices are 30 to 50 percent above average and tubers are 30 to 40 percent above average due to below normal supply, particularly in southern markets like Ambovombe and Tulear I.
