Description Complète
FEWS NET indique que, jusqu'en septembre 2026, les effets combinés de l'insécurité, des perturbations économiques et des difficultés d'accès aux moyens d'existence continueront d'entraîner une insécurité alimentaire aiguë élevée, la plupart des districts en Crise (Phase 3 de l'IPC) et une partie importante de la zone métropolitaine de Port-au-Prince en Urgence (Phase 4 de l'IPC), en particulier les zones accueillant des ménages déplacés et les populations les plus exposées à la violence armée. La recrudescence de la violence armée dans la ZMPP, l'Artibonite et le Centre, ainsi que la hausse des enlèvements, continue de perturber les moyens d'existence, les flux commerciaux et les activités génératrices de revenus ; selon les Nations Unies, environ 30 000 personnes ont été déplacées durant la première quinzaine de mai 2026 dans les zones au nord de Port-au-Prince, plus de 70% rejoignant des sites de déplacés, et les contraintes sécuritaires limitent l'accès aux terres agricoles, aux intrants, à la main-d'œuvre et aux marchés dans l'Ouest, l'Artibonite et le Centre.
Des pluies spatio-temporelles irrégulières depuis le début de la campagne de printemps perturbent le développement des cultures malgré des cumuls saisonniers globalement favorables, avec une alternance de périodes sèches et de fortes pluies ; des inondations et glissements de terrain dans le Nord-Ouest ont frappé Saint-Louis-du-Nord, Port-de-Paix et Anse-à-Foleur, et de possibles pertes de cultures annoncent des rendements de printemps inférieurs à la moyenne. Un retour anticipé de conditions El Niño au second semestre 2026 pourrait entraîner des pluies inférieures à la moyenne et nuire aux rendements d'automne et d'hiver.
Les prix alimentaires restent élevés malgré le ralentissement de l'inflation : l'inflation annuelle est retombée à 20,6% en mars 2026 (contre 22,1% en février) mais l'inflation alimentaire reste élevée à 22,9%, et en avril les prix des produits de base étaient 63-87% au-dessus des moyennes quinquennales, avec des hausses continues du maïs et du haricot noir locaux ; les prix élevés reflètent les coûts de transport, les paiements non officiels sur les corridors routiers, les perturbations commerciales et la hausse des carburants. Bien que le salaire minimum ait été relevé le 6 mai, l'ajustement ne compense pas l'érosion du pouvoir d'achat.

Erratic rainfall and persistent insecurity compromise the spring agricultural season
Key Messages
Haiti - Key Message Update May - September 2026
Through September 2026, the combined effects of insecurity,
economic disruptions, and difficulties accessing livelihoods
will continue to drive high levels of acute food insecurity
across the country. Most districts will remain in Crisis (IPC
Phase 3), while a significant portion of the Port-au-Prince
metropolitan area (ZMPP) will remain in Emergency (IPC Phase
4), particularly areas hosting displaced households and
populations most exposed to armed violence.
The resurgence of armed violence in the ZMPP, Artibonite,
and Centre, along with an increase in kidnappings, continue
to disrupt livelihoods, trade flows, and income-generating
activities. According to the United Nations, approximately
30,000 people were displaced during the first half of May 2026 in
areas north of Port-au-Prince, with more than 70 percent
relocating to internally displaced persons (IDP) sites. Security
constraints are limiting access to agricultural land, inputs, labor,
and markets, particularly in the Ouest, Artibonite, and Centre
departments.
The irregular spatiotemporal rainfall distribution since the
start of the spring growing season is disrupting agricultural
activities in several areas, despite generally favorable
seasonal rainfall totals and vegetation conditions
countrywide. Alternating dry spells and episodes of
concentrated heavy rainfall are hindering typical crop
development. In the Nord-Ouest, flooding and landslides have
particularly affected the municipalities of Saint-Louis-du-Nord,
Port-de-Paix, and Anse-à-Foleur. As a result, potential crop losses
could result in below-average spring harvest yields, limiting
seasonal improvements in food availability and agricultural
income. In addition, the anticipated return of El Niño
conditions during the second half of 2026 could lead to below-
average rainfall and negatively affect agricultural yields during
the autumn and winter growing seasons, consistent with
historical conditions and impacts associated with the El Niño
phenomenon.
Food prices remain elevated despite a slowdown in annual
inflation, limiting improvements in the purchasing power of
poor households. According to the Haitian Institute of Statistics and Informatics (IHSI), annual inflation
slowed to 20.6 percent in March 2026, down from 22.1 percent in February, but food inflation remains high at
22.9 percent. In April, staple food prices remained 63 to 87 percent above five-year averages, depending on the
commodity, with continued increases in locally produced maize and black beans. These high prices are driven

by transportation costs, unofficial payments imposed along road corridors, trade disruptions, and rising fuel
prices. Although the minimum wage was increased on May 6, the adjustment does not offset the erosion of
purchasing power caused by higher food prices and essential service costs. Tensions in the Middle East remain
an inflationary risk through their potential effects on oil prices and transportation costs in Haiti.

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.
