- The continued increase in the prices of agriculture inputs and food commodities continues to add more pressure on Syrian families after 9 years of the protracted crisis. Out of 12 monitored agriculture inputs, five inputs (wheat & barley seed, fuel, fertilizers, pesticides) showed significant price increases. Also seven out of the 15 monitored food items (tomato, bread, eggplant, sugar, potato, sunflower oil, olive oil) showed significant increases in November 2020.
- The continued devaluation of the Syrian Pound against other foreign currencies within the informal exchange market has resulted in constant market price volatility, supply chain constraints and inflation.
- Fuel shortage continues to persist in most governorates; this has added challenges to farmers who rely on fuel for land preparation, transportation and other agriculture value chain activities during the current winter season.
