Dailekh food security bulletin Jan-Mar'12
• In the moderately food insecure VDCs, household food stock is sufficient for 2-3 months from the harvest of summer crops (paddy and millet), and also from the WFP Food for Asset (FFA) activities (in Hyanglu, Bhie, Dhainakot, Natharpu, Shreekot, Photu, and Jima VDCs). Market and NFC food stocks have depleted due to disruption in supply for more than two weeks in January and February following heavy snowfall in Karnali highway; wage employment opportunities have decreased by upto 30% due to less presence of development activities compared to last year; limited wage opportunities are available at the periphery of DHQ in the construction works. Income from the sale of NTFPs like Chiraito , and Kakarsingi is limited as the collection remained less and price went low this year. People are coping with limited wage labour works, borrowing money and food, and consuming less preferred food.
