[ 4th Jan 2021, Nigeria ] According to the October 2020 ‘'Cadre Harmonisé'' analysis, about 9.8 million people are estimated to be in need of external food assistance from October to December 2020, a significant increase from the estimated 4 million people in same months in 2019. The situation is expected to deteriorate at the peak of the next lean season, between June and August 2021, when close to 14 million people are expected to require assistance, if no mitigation actions are taken. The higher prevalence of food insecurity mainly reflects the adverse effects of the measures to contain the COVID 19 pandemic on the supply chain, the escalation of armed and community conflicts, some localizedcereal production shortfalls in 2020, the unfavourable macro economic conditions and high food prices. The areas most affected by food insecurity are Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states.
[ 4th Jan 2021, Nigeria ] In particular, the food security situation has worsened in recent months mainly due to the upsurge of violence between armed groups and communal conflicts, driving new population displacements, especially in the Northeast, Northwest and Northcentral regions. Most of the affected households are unable to carry out their livelihood activities, including petty trade and unskilled labour restricting their purchasing power. In addition, the well above average staple food prices are limiting market food access. As a result, many affected households continue to experience high levels of food insecurity, especially in the most inaccessible areas.

[ 4th Jan 2021, Nigeria ] In addition to the trade restrictions introduced in 2015 to increase local production, the Government decided to close the borders since August 2019 in order to stop illegal inflows of rice and maize from neighboring countries, with the aim to accelerate domestic crop production.

In addition, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, the food inflation rate has progressively increased since late 2019, reaching 18.3 percent in November 2020, the highest level in about three years. Moreover, the Naira continued to depreciate from NGN 461/US dollar in October 2020 to NGN 482/US dollar in November 2020.
