Description Complète
FEWS NET indique que l'insécurité alimentaire aiguë restera généralisée jusqu'à la fin de la soudure de février-juin, avec une Crise (Phase 3 de l'IPC) dans la majeure partie du pays et une Urgence (Phase 4 de l'IPC) concentrée dans la zone métropolitaine de Port-au-Prince, en particulier parmi les déplacés et les ménages pauvres affectés par la violence, qui font face à d'importants déficits de consommation et à des stratégies d'adaptation fortement érosives (mendicité, travail précaire ou à haut risque y compris activités illicites, réductions extrêmes des dépenses non alimentaires, endettement insoutenable).
L'insécurité persistante continue de provoquer des déplacements massifs : de récentes attaques à Boucan-Carré (Plateau Central) ont déplacé environ 4 500 personnes, portant le total des déplacés à plus de 1,45 million, et d'autres attaques ont été signalées dans l'Artibonite les 28-29 mars (Jean-Denis, attribuées au gang 'Grand Grif'). Le contrôle des routes par les gangs limite les flux commerciaux, réduit les opportunités de revenus et maintient une forte dépendance aux marchés, surtout dans la ZMPP, l'Artibonite et le Centre.
La hausse des prix mondiaux des carburants liée aux tensions au Moyen-Orient devrait entraîner une inflation élevée : compte tenu de la forte dépendance d'Haïti aux importations de produits alimentaires, de carburant et d'intrants agricoles (engrais), la hausse des prix mondiaux du pétrole devrait se répercuter sur les coûts de transport et de distribution intérieurs et sur une hausse généralisée des prix alimentaires, les coûts des intrants (notamment l'urée) pénalisant les petits exploitants et la production de printemps ; la capacité du gouvernement à amortir le choc par des subventions semble limitée, transférant probablement une grande partie du coût aux consommateurs.
La campagne de printemps débute avec les premières pluies mais dans des conditions défavorables - accès limité aux intrants du fait des prix élevés et de l'insécurité, et accès restreint à la terre et à la main-d'œuvre dans l'Artibonite, le Centre et l'Ouest - de sorte que les agriculteurs pourraient réduire les superficies cultivées, affaiblissant les perspectives de récolte.

Escalating conflict worsening acute food insecurity in Haiti
Key Messages
Haiti - Key Message Update March - September 2026
Acute food insecurity will remain widespread in Haiti through the
end of the lean season (February-June), with Crisis (IPC Phase 3)
outcomes across most of the country and Emergency (IPC
Phase 4) outcomes concentrated in the Port-au-Prince
Metropolitan Area (ZMPP), particularly among internally
displaced persons (IDPs) and poor households affected by
violence. These households face significant consumption deficits
and are resorting to negative coping strategies that severely
erode livelihoods, including begging, increased reliance on
precarious or high-risk activities (including illicit activities),
extreme reductions in essential non-food expenditures, and the
accumulation of unsustainable debt.
Persistent insecurity continues to drive large-scale
displacement and disrupt livelihoods. Recent attacks
in Boucan-Carré (Plateau Central) displaced around 4,500
people, bringing the total number of IDPs to over 1.45 million.
Additional attacks were reported in Artibonite on March 28 and
29, particularly in Jean-Denis, where individuals were reportedly
killed by members of the “Grand Grif” gang controlling the area.
Control of roadways by armed groups limits trade flows,
reduces income-earning opportunities, and sustains high
dependence on markets, especially in the ZMPP, Artibonite,
and Centre.
Rising global fuel prices, linked to tensions in the Middle East,
are expected to drive high inflation. Given Haiti’s strong
dependence on imports of food, fuel, and agricultural inputs
(fertilizers), any increase in global oil prices is likely to translate
into higher domestic transport and distribution costs, leading to
a generalized increase in food prices. Rising costs of agricultural
inputs, particularly urea, are expected to negatively affect
smallholder farmers and spring agricultural production. The
government’s capacity to cushion this shock through subsidies
appears limited; it is likely that only partial mitigation measures
will be implemented, transferring a significant share of costs to
consumers. As a result, purchasing power for poor households,
displaced populations, and urban populations dependent on
markets will be further weakened.
The spring agricultural season is beginning with the first rains, but in an unfavorable economic and
security context. Access to inputs remains limited due to high prices, logistical constraints linked to insecurity,
and low levels of support to the sector. In some areas (Artibonite, Centre, Ouest), insecurity also restricts access
to land and labor, limiting income-earning opportunities for farming households. Faced with these constraints,

farmers may reduce cultivated areas, which would negatively affect harvest prospects and maintain pressure on
food availability and access.

FEWS NET classification is IPC-compatible with limited exceptions. IPC-compatible analysis follows key IPC protocols but does not necessarily reflect the consensus of national food security
partners. As of IPC 3.0, the IPC no longer assesses the impact of food assistance on classification and thus no longer maps the (!). However, FEWS NET continues to produce food security
maps inclusive of the (!) as well as maps compatible with IPC 3.0/3.1, which include the mapping of food security assistance bags. In rare cases, FEWS NET classification is IPC-aligned but
not IPC-compatible. IPC-aligned analysis is evidence-based but some types of evidence required for IPC-compatibility were not available.
