Yemen - Price and Food Security Update, 2012

This market study is considered the second, complementary phase of the CFSS, analysing the relationship between markets, people’s livelihoods and food insecurity. This market related addendum to the CFSS will ensure a comprehensive information base that WFP’s Country Office in nYemen can confidently refer to in its endeavour to design its programme strategy for 2010/11 and beyond.

This study analyzes the food markets of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Iran, Iraq, and Yemen (ME-ODC Countries), to better understand their dynamics, particularly in light of the sudden flare in food prices.

To better understand the impact of higher food prices in Yemen, in June 2008 WFP conducted a rapid assessment consisting of a literature review, focus group discussions, a household survey covering 15 Yemeni governorates and a trader survey.
