Shabelle Regions Deyr 2010/11 January 26, 2011 Information for Better Livelihoods Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit Somalia EUROPEAN COMMISSION Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation SDC

Field Coverage in Shabelle Regions: FS field analysts in Lower and Middle Shabelle had access to field in most districts, including Qoryaley, Kurtunwarey, Merca and Afgoye in L/Sh and Balad, Jowhar and parts of Cadale districts in M/Sh. In the areas that could not be accessed by the Field Analysts directly, Food Security information was collected through teleconferencing using enumerators with key informants/focus groups. In addition, FS analysts travelled to most districts for crop assessment, field observation, livestock and market conditions. Nutrition information was obtained through partners and key informants.

 Civil Security Situation: High political tension among religious groups Prolonged political confrontation in Mogadishu, and likely new conflicts at the border of M. Shabelle with Hiran  Direct and Indirect Impacts on Food Security & Nutrition: Market disruption mainly in the districts surrounding Mogadishu. Short term impact on urban areas and transportation routes in conflict areas. Restriction of humanitarian intervention - (suspension of World vision, Diakonia and ADRA activities in southern Somalia) negatively impacting access to food and basic services (IDPs health posts and feeding centers ). High taxation by local authorities in the rural areas that led many households to migrate to less controlled areas. Source: FSNAU & Protection Cluster Civil Insecurity

Agriculture Regional Trends in Cereal Prices & Terms of Trade Trends in Cereal Prices: Jowhar (Middle Shabelle) Trends in Cereal Prices: Afgoye, Marka and Qoryoley (Lower Shabelle) Factors Influencing cereal prices: Poor Maize production - Riverine Sorghum crop failure in all agropastoral livelihoods. High demand on maize from neighbouring regions, including Banadir

Agriculture Labour Rates & Availability Factors Influencing Wage Labour Rates: High supply of casual labour (L. Shabelle in particular), pushing down the wage rates. Agricultural activities such as canal rehabilitation/road maintenance as a cash for work Seasonality Middle Shabelle (Jowhar) Lower Shabelle (all main markets)

Agriculture Regional Trends in Cereal Prices & Terms of Trade Regional Trends in Terms of Trade: Jowhar, Middle Shabelle (5 kg of maize/ daily wage rate) Regional Trends in Terms of Trade: Lower Shabelle (6 kg of maize/ daily wage rate) Factors affecting Terms of Trade: High cereal prices Decrease in labour wage rates High supply of casual labour due to labour migration from agro-pastoral areas following a very poor seasonal performance.

Rangeland Conditions and Livestock Migration in Deyr ’10/11 Livestock Poor performance of Deyr ’10/11 season in both regions resulting in below normal pasture and water Abnormal migration to riverine areas of both regions.

Regional Trends in Local Goat Prices: M/ Shabelle (Jowhar) Livestock Trends in Goat Prices Regional Trends in Local Goat Prices: L/ Shabelle (all markets) Factors Influencing livestock prices: Poor body condition Less saleable animals in Middle Shabelle Increased livestock supply into Lower Shabelle markets after an influx of livestock from other livelihoods and regions into riverine Low livestock demand after the end of Hajj period

Livestock Trends in Cattle Prices Regional Trends in Local Cattle Prices (M/ Shabelle) - Jowhar Regional Trends in Local Cattle Prices (L/Shabelle) – All markets Factors Influencing Livestock Prices: Poor body condition High livestock supply into markets after an influx of livestock into riverine areas Reduced sales at Garissa market due to poor pasture and shortage of water along cattle trekking route to the market Low livestock demand after Hajj period

Regional Trends inTerms of Trade: M/ Shabelle (64kg of maize/goat) - Jawhar Regional Trends in Terms of Trade: Cereal to Goat: L/ Shabelle ( 98 kg/head) – all markets Livestock Trends in Terms of Trade – goat to cereal Factors Influencing Goat to Maize ToT: High Cereal Prices Decreased livestock prices due to poor body conditions and high supply.

Regional Trends in Terms of Trade: M/ Shabelle (267kg of maize/head of cattle) Regional Trends in Terms of Trade: L/ Shabelle ( 176 kg of maize/head of cattle) Livestock Trends in Terms of Trade – local quality cattle to cereal Factors Influencing TOT (cattle to maize): High Cereal Prices Decreased livestock prices due to poor body conditions, low demand and high supply.

Trends in Imported Commodity Prices Factors Affecting Commercial Import Price increase (last six months) Disruption in commercial imports and Bakkara market, due to persisting fighting in Mogadishu and continuous piracy activities Increase in prices on international markets Markets
