This issue covers the period October-December 2010, the harvesting season of main summer crops paddy, maize and millet. The overall food security situation is reported to be stable across Nepal. Most of the Eastern, Central, and Western Hill and Mountain regions as well as the whole Terai belt are generally food secure. The Mid and Far Western Hill and Mountain districts, where there is a prevailing situation of chronic food insecurity, have reported low to moderate levels of food insecurity. This season appears to be one of the best seasons among the past years since the Food Security Phase Classification was first introduced in mid-2006. The seasonal improvement in the food security is mainly attributed to the good harvest of summer crops in 2010, following a normal winter crop production in April/May 2010.
