En Haiti, las tormentas de 2008, el terremoto de 2010, los danos del Huracan Tomas en 2010 y la epidemia de colera han afectado la produccion agricola. Los precios de los productos nacionales e importados estan en aumento y cerca de 3 millones de personas padecen inseguridad alimentaria; alrededor de 900,000 viven en pobreza o pobreza extrema en la capital, Puerto Principe. En Guatemala, los afectados por inundaciones, sismos, deslizamientos y derrumbes son unas 228,800 personas ii en 2011.
