This issue mostly covers the period of October-December 2011, the harvesting season of the main summer crops of paddy, maize and millet. The overall food security situation is reportedly good across the country, considered to be one of the best seasons since mid-2006 when the IPCbased Food Security Phase Classification was first introduced. This seasonal improvement is mainly attributed to the record high production of winter and summer crops in 2010/11, incomes from cash crops, remittance, selling of livestock products and wage employment opportunities created by the government and non-government organizations, including PAF, WFP, FINNIDA-RVWRMP, RRRSDP, DRILP, and RAP.
