Market Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit - Somalia February 218 Update (Issued March 26, 218) Highlights Inflation: SoSh (Somali shilling)-using areas: Consumer Index (CPI) remained relatively stable or changed mildly (+/- 8%) in February 218. Compared to one year ago, CPI increased by 3 percent in Northeast due to increases in cereal prices. In central and southern Somalia, annual comparison indicates a decline in CPI in February 218 due to declines in current cereal prices. SISh (Somaliland shilling)-using areas: The CPI remain stable (+/-1%) in February 218 but increased by 1 percent compared to a year ago due to higher cereal prices this year. Zeilac DJIBOUTI Awdal Borama Woq. Galbeed Burao Tog-Wajaale Hargeisa Togdheer Erigabo Sanag Sool Lasanod Bossaso Bari 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 (+/- %) against USD in most regions of the country during February 218. Annual comparison mostly exhibited a mixed pattern with SoSh (old currency notes) gaining value in central and southern (4 % in Middle Shabelle and 18 % in Hiraan) as traders and consumers in these regions are abandoning the use of newly printed SoSh currency notes in favor of the more valued, pre-war old notes which have limited supply in local markets. SoSh new currency notes which are more widely in use in the northeast depreciated (8%) against the USD in northeast regions. This is due to increased supply of the recently printed local currency notes in the northeast regions. SISh-using areas: After continued depreciation in recent months, the SISh remained stable against the USD in February 218. As expected, annual comparison indicates high depreciation of 38 percent 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 changed mildly (less than +/- 1%) in most regions of the country in February 218 except in Sanaag where local cereal (white sorghum) price increased moderately (27%) due to a combination of reduced cereal supply and deteriorated security condition in the region. Annual comparison indicates lower prices in most regions in February 218 due to increased supply as a result of improved 217/18 Deyr season cereal production compared to a year ago. 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 February 218 across the country. Compared to one year ago, prices exhibited mixed patterns, with mild to moderate price declines recorded for most food imports in most of Southern regions. The highest price declines (1-24%) were recorded in Middle Shabelle and Hiraan due to increased supply from humanitarian food distribution and mild appreciation of SoSh against USD in these regions. Compared to a year ago, prices for most food imports in central and northeast regions showed mild changes (less than +/- 1%) but increased moderately (11-2%) in northwest compared to a year ago due to depreciation of the local currency (SlSh) against USD in these regions. Livestock prices for local quality goat and camel exhibited mild changes (less than -/+1%) in February 218 in most regions of the country. Compared to a year ago, most regions exhibited increases in goat and camel prices in February 218 due to a combination of improved body conditions as a result of relatively better 217 Deyr season rainfall performance and consequent increased water availability and pasture as well as reduce supply of livestock in the market due to livestock losses sustained during the drought in 217. Similarly, milk prices (camel and cattle) mostly exhibited mild changes (less than +/-1%) in most regions of the country in February 218. However, compared to one year ago, milk prices (camel and cattle) increased from moderate to high levels due to reduced supply of milk as a result of low livestock births caused by reduced conception and increased abortion during the 216/217 drought. Labor (unskilled) wages changed mildly (by less than +/-1%) in most regions of the country in February 218. Compared to a year ago, labor wages mostly exhibited increases in most regions of the country. This could be attributed to improved agricultural labor opportunities due to improved 217 Deyr season rainfall performance compared to last year. (ToT) between daily labor wage and cereals remained relatively stable or changed mildly in most regions of the country in February 218. Annual comparison indicates higher ToT between daily labor and cereals in most regions due to increases in labor wages and/or decreases in cereal prices. The ToT between local quality goat and cereals mostly exhibited mild changes (+/- 1%) in most regions of the country during February 218. Compared to a year ago, the ToT between goat and cereals were higher across the country due to increased goat prices and/or decreases in cereal prices.

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. Towns Affected by Trade Disruption (Bulo Burto, Wajid, Hudur and Diinsor) Unskilled labor wages declined moderately in Bulo-Burto (13%) and Dinsor (23%) but changed mildly in Hudur and Wajid during February 218. Compared to a year ago, labor wages increased due to increased opportunities from loading and off-loading activities as a result of increased humanitarian distribution of food aid and increased agricultural activities in the surrounding rural areas related to the 217 Deyr season. (ToTs) between daily labor wage and cereals and between local quality goat and cereals either remained relatively stable or changed at mild rates in February 218 in all of the above markets. Annual comparison indicates higher ToTs in these markets due to increases in goat prices and daily labor wage and/or a decrease in cereal prices this year. Local grain (red and white sorghum) prices changed mildly (by less than +/-1%) in siege affected markets in February 218. Compared to a year ago, local grain prices decreased in most markets due to increased supply from improved Deyr 217 cereal production and ongoing humanitarian distribution. s of imported food items (rice, sugar, vegetable oil, wheat flour) changed at mild rates for most of the food imports in all siege affected markets in February 218. On the other hand, compared to a year ago, prices of most food imports declined in these markets due to increased supply from humanitarian distribution this year.
