In Yobe State on the other hand, favorable market supplies and stock levels have led to price decrease or stability when compared to ovember Compared to ovember, 2017, the price of maize increased by 61.8% in Mond market, 37.% in Bullumkutu, 3% in Custom market, 33% in Baga Road, 67% in Kasuwan Shanu and 4% in Tashan Bama market in Maiduguri.

Introduction As humanitarian actors continue to provide food assistance to the most vulnerable, through different modalities, such as the implementation of CBT. There is need to collect the prices of food items, analyze and share information on the markets prices. On the basis of this, WFP undertakes a biweekly monitoring of food commodities to gauge how vulnerable households are probably affected by food price s and the impact this s could have on the cost of the food basket. In Borno State, the monitored markets include Mond market, Abbaganaram, Budum, Kasuwan Shanu, Bullumkutu, Baga Road, Tashan Bama, Custom market. In Yobe State on the other hand, Damaturu, Bursari, Gujba, Potiskum, Jakusko, Geidam, Yunusari, Yusufari, Bade, guru and Gulani markets are monitored (Figure 1).

The food basket is tailored to meet the nutritional needs of vulnerable households. The basket comprises the basic energy food requirements of 2,100 kilocalories per person for food items like rice, maize, red beans, palm oil, vegetable oil, salt and sugar, consumed by the majority of households in the orth East. The SMEB for a month is calculated based on the cost of food items for an average family of five (calculated for 2,100 kcal/per person). The cost of the Survival Minimum Expenditure Basket for a family of increased slightly by 8 percent from 16, in January to 17,891.8 in February 2018 in Maiduguri and by 10 percent from 14,33.0 in January to 16, in February 2018 in Damaturu market.

Food access for these households is likely to be further hampered by high prices during the lean season and would require some assistance.
