Comments:
In 2012, the combined production of cereals in Lesotho was the lowest in 10 years, representing only 32% of the average annual harvest. Food price and other cost of living increases are intensifying the impact of the poor harvest. Preliminary Lesotho Vulnerability Assessment Committee (LVAC) results indicated that 725,000 people were food insecure. The government declared a food crisis situation on 9 Aug 2012 and called on development partners to assist.
