- Negative coping levels remained high in Guinea, especially in Forest Guinea and Middle Guinea. Households headed by women are most vulnerable to food insecurity.
- In January, local rice prices dropped seasonally in most markets. Palm oil prices are recovering in Forest Guinea, perhaps signalling a recovery in markets and trade.
- Wage rates for January continued to drop in Guinea, limiting access to food for wage labour-dependent households.
- Senegal opened its land border with Guinea on 26 January, allowing people and goods to move freely for the first time in five months. Middle Guinea, where negative coping levels are among the highest in the country, should directly benefit from increased trade, as it is the main corridor to and from Senegal.
