The recent completion of the major harvest period of the year has improved the overall short-term food security situation across the country. At a national level WFP household surveys revealed that food stocks and consumption levels have seen an improvement since late last year when the harvest begun. However, a number of districts in the Karnali and Far Western Hills are suffering high or severe levels of food insecurity due to successive periods of drought, poor recent harvest, insufficient supply of food in local markets and overall lack of economic opportunity. Over 50 percent of households surveyed reported crop losses at 30-70 percent.
