  • Mauritania Food Security Update, February 2008
    MAURITANIA Food Security Update February 2008 • Despite rapidly deteriorating food security conditions in Figure 1. Livelihood zones in Mauritania pastoral and western agropastoral areas (zones 4 and 5, Figure 1), and steep increases in food prices in markets around the country, food security in February is better than conditions from the same time last year. In other pastoral areas of zone 5 and parts of the farm belt, harvests of irrigated and flood‐recession crops (“walo” and bottomland crops) (zone 7) have helped bolster household grain availability (Figure 2). However, shocks such as a sudden increase in cereal prices and/or an even steeper drop in prices for small livestock, which is highly likely in the face of current market trends, could seriously weaken food security conditions between now and the end of this year’s rainy season. Households in zones dependent on rain‐fed crops and migratory herding (zones 6 and 4), as well as market‐ dependent households in urban slums and shantytowns on the outskirts of urban areas are particularly vulnerable to food insecurity as a result of such shocks. • Indeed, there are signs that food insecurity is increasing in Source: FEWS NET urban slums and peri‐urban areas due to sharp increases in Figure 2. Current food security conditions, first prices for basic food items and due to a lack of social quarter of 2008 (January through March) services. • Food access is deteriorating in rain‐fed farming areas in the southeast (zone 6), the northern Senegal River Valley (zone 7), and the central reaches of agropastoral areas (zone 5) due to mediocre harvests of rain‐fed grain crops for the 2007/08 season in the wake of poor rainfall conditions and shortages of seeds.
