Please refer to the attached file. Situation Update • October harvests are expected to improve food access for households with farmland across northern Nigeria. However, insecurity, repeated displacement and access constraints continue to restrict cultivation and the movement of produce to markets. • Dry spells and a delayed peak in rainfall have increased agricultural production costs and damaged crop development across the region, further limiting food access and raising the risk of local production shortfalls. • The latest report indicates that food inflation rose slightly in September 2026 compared with August but remained slightly below September 2025 levels. • Persistently high food prices continue to erode purchasing power and limit food access despite seasonal improvements in food availability. • Displaced and vulnerable households in conflict-affected northern Nigeria continue to face barriers to food and livelihoods, keeping humanitarian needs high despite the harvest.
