Situational Updates
WFP’s food security monitoring from January to March 2025, conducted in all 18 provinces, revealed:
- Food insecurity showed a further improving trend, dropping to a national level of 7 percent as of March, the lowest since the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Significant disparities persist across provinces, with Sekong and Attapeu showing the highest chronic food insecurity. Conditions have worsened in Phongsaly province due to heavy reliance on single-season rice crops and the impact of the 2024 flash floods on some key production areas.
- Despite overall progress, 14 percent of households had insufficient food consumption and nearly half (47 percent) employed livelihood-based coping strategies, suggesting high vulnerability to shocks and stressors.
- Seasonal crop availability remains a major determinant of household food security. Post-harvest rice availability from October to December played a key role in reducing food insecurity nationally.
- WFP released two other reports: a market price bulletin and a seasonal monitor and forecast.
