| Ethiopia: Humanitarian Bulletin - Weekly Humanitarian Highlights in Ethiopia, 19 December 2011 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:00:10 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Ethiopia Seasonal Outlook A new forecast from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast indicates that the La Nina conditions, which have re-emerged and are predicted to prevail into the first half of 2012, may weaken. With above normal temperatures in the Indian Ocean, this would likely reduce the La Nina?s impact on the February to May rains in the southern and south-eastern lowlands and central and eastern highlands of the country. The current October-to-December rains in the southern and southeastern lowlands are also expected to cease on time. The Government?s Disaster Risk Management and Food Security Sector (DRMFSS) also warns that unseasonable rainfall was reported over parts of northern Ethiopia in late November and is expected to continue into December. The month of December is normally characterized by sunny, dry and windy weather over most of the country. The unseasonable rains could have negative impacts on the ongoing harvest unless precautions are taken to prevent post-harvest losses due to excessive moisture in fields and barns. For more information, contact: wfp.addisababa@wfp.org & info@dppc.gov.et Price Update As a result of newly-harvested crops entering the market, retail prices of maize fell for the second consecutive month in November according to FAO?s Global Food Price Monitor. Despite the good harvest prospects, however, maize prices are still up to 147 per cent higher than the previous year (November 2010). Prices of wheat, which is widely consumed and partially imported, also remained high. In the capital, Addis Ababa, for example, they were 61 per cent higher in November 2011 than the same month 2010. According to WFP?s Market Watch report, general year-on-year inflation rate remains high, at 39.2 per cent in November 2011, although a slight decline has been reported from the previous month (39.8 per cent in October). Food price inflation stood at 50.3 per cent in November (down from 51.7 per cent in October) and non-food inflation at 24 per cent (up slightly from 23.4 per cent in October).
