1 P.O. Box 123 Village Market, Nairobi, Kenya tel: fax: FSNAU is managed by FAO The boundaries and names on these maps do not imply official endorsement or acceptance by the United Nations. The regional & District boundaries reflect those endorsed by the Government of the Republic of Somalia in Market Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit - Somalia July and August 218 Upate (Issued September 28, 218) Highlights Inflation: SoSh (Somali shilling)-using areas: Compared to June 218, consumer Index (CPI) changed mildly (by 3-6%) in July and August of 218. CPI declined (by 8-17%) compared to a year ago due to decreases in cereal prices. Zeilac DJIBOUTI Awdal Borama Woq. Galbeed Erigabo Sanag Bossaso Bari SISh (Somaliland shilling)-using areas: The CPI remained relatively stable compared to June 218 but increased mildly (3-4%) compared to a year ago (July and August 217). Tog-Wajaale Hargeisa Burao Togdheer Sool Lasanod Garowe Nugal Exchange rate: SoSh-using areas: The exchange rates between SoSh and the United States Dollar (USD) remained relatively stable or changed at mild rates (less than +/- 8%) against USD in most regions of the country compared to June and July 218. Annual comparison indicates that SoSh is mildly losing value (less than 1%) in most of SoSh using areas. SISh-using areas: The SISh remained relatively stable against the USD compared to last month while annual comparison indicates a depreciation (of 4-7%) due to increased supply of newly printed local currency notes and a decline in the availability of USD due to reduced livestock exports and export revenue. Local cereal prices exhibited monthly and annual mild changes (less than +/- 1%) in most of the northern and central regions but declined (by 9 to 26 %) in most of the southern regions in both July and August 218 due to increased cereal supply as a result of improved Gu 218 harvest. s of imported food (rice, sugar, vegetable oil, wheat flour) mostly exhibited relative stability or mild monthly changes (less than +/-1%) in local currency terms in July and August 218 against preceding months across the country. Similarly, compared to one year ago, prices exhibited mild changes (mostly increases) in most regions for most food imports. Exceptions are Middle Juba, and Northwest regions where prices increased moderately (13-26%) due to loss of value of Somaliland shilling in Northwest and reduced supply as a result of disrupted movement of food imports into Middle Juba due to fighting/confrontation between government forces and insurgents. Livestock prices for local quality goat and camel mostly exhibited mild monthly changes (less than +/- 1%) in most regions during July and August 218. Compared to a year ago (July and August 217), most regions exhibited increases in goat and camel prices due to improved livestock body conditions and increased demand for livestock during the Hajj festivities in August 218. Milk prices (camel and cattle) mostly exhibited mild to moderate seasonal declines in most regions of the country compared to last month in July and August 218 due to increased supply as a result of improved calving and increased availability of water and pasture. On the other hand, milk prices (mainly camel) are still higher compared to last year in most regions of the country due to less milk supply because of low camel calving resulting from less conception in previous seasons.

The weekly price data is collected from 46 main markets and 2 rural markets throughout Somalia since 199. Market analysis is an integral part of all of FSNAU s annual food security projections and seasonal technical reports (Technical Reports on FSNAU Post Gu and Post Deyr Analysis). Detailed market data are available online on www. fsnau.org/ids. Labor (unskilled) wages changed mildly (by less than +/-1%) in July and August 218 in most of the northern and central regions but increased from mild to moderate levels in most of the southern regions due to increased labor demand for harvesting activities in July and August 218. Compared to a year ago, labor wages mostly exhibited increases in most regions of the country due to improved agricultural labor opportunities associated with improved rainfall performance and harvest prospects this year compared to last year. Exception is Middle Juba where wage rates declined (19-2%) in July and August 218 due to reduced labor opportunities compared to last year as a result of recent fighting between government forces and insurgents in the region. (ToT) between daily labor wage and cereals either remained relatively stable or increased in most regions of the country compared to last month in July and August 218 due to increased wage rates and/or decreased cereal prices. Annual comparison indicates higher ToT between daily labor and cereals in most regions due to increased labor wages and/or decrease in cereal prices. The ToT between local quality goat and cereals mostly exhibited increases in most regions of the country in July and August 218 compared to June 218 and a year ago due to increased goat prices and/or decrease in cereal prices. Siege-affected towns (Bulo-Burto, Wajid, Dinsor and Hudur) Labor (unskilled) wages in July and August 218 exhibited mild monthly changes compared to a month ago. Compared to last year labor wage rates were higher in all the markets. (ToTs) between daily labor wage and cereals and between local quality goat and cereals increased compared to both last month and a year ago in July and August 218 due to increase in goat prices, daily labor wage and/or decrease in cereal prices compared last month and a year ago. Local grain (red and white sorghum) prices exhibited mild (less than 1%) to moderate (32-9%) declines compared to last month and a year ago due to increased supply in the markets as a result of improved Gu 218 harvest. s of imported food items (rice, sugar, vegetable oil, wheat flour) changed (by less than +/-1%) at mild rates for most of the food imports in all siege-affected markets compared to last month in July and August 218. On the other hand, compared to a year ago, prices of most food imports mostly declined in Bulo-Burto and Dinsor but mildly changed (by less than +/-1%) in Wajid and Hudur.
