The past couple of months were characterized by ongoing bandhs in the Terai, resulting in shortages of fuel and other essential items and rising food
prices across Nepal. Price rises in coarse rice were further exacerbated by
the ongoing ban on export of non basmati rice from India and the global cereal price hikes (see WFP Market Watch No. 3)inadequate supply and price increases in food and non-food items have had a significant impact on the overall food security situation,particularly as the February- March period is already a lean season in many rural areas as the population waits for
the wheat harvest.
