Crisis-level food insecurity is expected to persist in Madagascar’s Grand South through May 2027 as poor households continue to face depleted food stocks, debt, and weakened livelihoods after a poor 2025/26 agricultural season. Below-average rainfall, limited seed access, and reduced planted area are expected to constrain production and incomes; assistance needs may reach 2.0–2.49 million people in February 2027.
Lower local harvests and incomes increase reliance on purchased staples, including rice, potentially tightening local availability and lifting prices. The effects are primarily regional and do not point to a material shift in global feed-commodity markets.
