Chad: Acute Malnutrition Situation
The IPC Acute Malnutrition analysis carried out on 43 analysis units, including 15 provinces, 27 departments and the city of N'Djaména, shows that almost 1,746,000 children aged between 6 and 59 months will suffer from acute malnutrition over the period from October 2023 to September 2024, i.e. 5 percent fewer than over the same period last year (just under 1,775,500 children identified as suffering from acute malnutrition over this period). The number of cases of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) expected between October 2023 and September 2024 is almost 480,000 children (compared with 415,000 last year between October 2022 and September 2023, i.e. around 15 percent more). For pregnant and breast-feeding women suffering from acute malnutrition, the estimate is over 261,000 (down from 273,500 last year, a variation of 5 percent).

Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) Market Monitor December 2023
As the year draws to a close, commodity markets have quieted down from the more volatile price movements that have characterized the past two years. With the exception of rice, prices for most grains and oilseeds are 15 to 20 percent below January 2022 levels. Yet, even rice prices have fallen back from recent highs as global production prospects look more favorable than they did in late summer. Despite a slowing global economy, demand for agricultural
products remains strong and is expected to hit record levels in the 2023/24 marketing season. Lower prices mean reduced profitability for grain and oilseed farmers though lower costs for fuel and fertilizer will help mitigate that impact.
