GIEWS Special Report - FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment to the Central African Republic

On 6 February 2019, a political agreement for peace and reconciliation was formally signed in Bangui between the Government and 14 armed groups.
The food security situation remains dire in the Central African Republic. According to the results of the Evaluation Nationale de la Sécurité Alimentaire (ENSA) 2018, 2.1 million people are food insecure, with more than 320 000 people (7 percent of the population) in severe food insecurity. Compared to the previous survey conducted in 2017, food insecurity in the country deteriorated by 5 percentage points, from 45 to 50 percent of the population.
Crop production in 2018 is estimated at slightly over 1 million tonnes, about
3 percent less than in 2017, but still about 18 percent above the average of the previous five years. The overall favourable output is mainly due to an increased maize and cassava production, about 27 and 21 percent above average, respectively.
