FAO Launches Plan to Avert Hunger Crisis in Horn of Africa
More than U.S.$138 million is needed to assist rural communities affected by extended drought in the Horn of Africa, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has said. FAO fears that a large-scale hunger crisis could break out if rural communities do not receive adequate assistance timed to the needs of the upcoming agricultural seasons. A third consecutive year of poor rains is posing a major threat to food security in countries already facing natural resource limitations and conflict, the COVID-19 pandemic, and locust invasions during 2020-21. The FAO plan targets 1.5 million of the most at-risk rural populations in Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia to get water, seeds, animal feed, veterinary care, and much needed cash to at-risk rural families. The organisation projects that some 25.3 million people will face "high acute food insecurity" by the middle of the year if no action is taken.

It is estimated that the sector has 1.8 million smallholder farmers (about 80% of producers). The remaining 44% of milk output comes from large commercial farmers.
