GIEWS Update – Bangladesh
3 October 2017
KEY MESSAGES
§ Severe floods in 2017 have affected at least 8 million people, causing deaths and injuries, loss of livestock and food supplies, and damage to housing and infrastructure.
§ The floods caused severe damage to the agriculture sector, including crop losses of the main food staple rice, with most of the damage concentrated in the northern districts.
§ Prices of rice, the country’s main staple, reached record levels in September, mostly reflecting flood‑induced crop losses in 2017. Overall, rice prices remained 30 percent above their year‑earlier levels.
§ The impact of the floods and the resulting elevated prices of rice have severely compromised the livelihoods of the affected households.
