The wheat harvest is underway and likely of above normal volume
KEY MESSAGES
• Between now and November 2013, staple food availability both at the household and market levels is likely increasing. This is primarily the result of the ongoing above average wheat harvest, which would be the second year in a row of above average production.
• Economic access to food is also likely to improve between now and November as labor opportunities, wages, and livestock prices peak during the summer.
• Wheat grain prices are likely to decrease during the June to September harvest time, reflecting seasonal pattern as well as increased supply from the above average national wheat harvest.
