key highlights; 

1. Findings show that 11 out of 30 monitored agriculture inputs witnessed an increase ranging from 1 to 15 percent. Furthermore, the prices of 12 out of 30 monitored agriculture inputs remained constant in November 2021. Moreover, 3 out of 30 monitored agriculture inputs recorded slight to moderate decrease, ranging from 2 percent to 15 percent. The price changes recorded herein specifically refer to the change in prices in local Syrian currency. Most farmers rely on the official local Syria currency as terms of trade (ToT). 
2. For food, 6 out of 17 monitored food commodities showed varying price increases in November 2021, ranging between 1 percent for (e.x. rice), and 9 percent (e.x. sheep meat). The prices of bread, egg, fish and potato remained constant in November 2021. 
3. Based on needs assessment and national priorities, wheat seed distribution is still ongoing mainly by GOSM and by other humanitarian agencies such as FAO. FAO emphasises on the need for collaboration among humanitarian actors to ensure timely and appropriate distribution of quality inputs, including seed. As agriculture input distribution is ongoing, sector partners are also encouraged to enhance coordination to avoid duplication during targeting of vulnerable farmers. 
4. In November 2021, most farmers were engaged in various field operations, particularly land preparation and planting. However, farmers continue to face various challenges especially fuel shortages, limited access to quality agriculture inputs, water scarcity and increased risks of climate change. 
5. The value of the Syrian pound continues to depreciate in the informal exchange market, ranging between 3 475 / USD to 3 500/ USD during the period covering October 2021 to November 2021 
6. During November 2021, there were reports of forest fires, especially in northern and western locations of Syria. The fires have resulted in an additional layer of challenges to farmers and the environment. An estimated 196 hectares (ha) of agricultural land was affected and this will drive the food security needs among owners who lost their livelihood assets.
