According to the Lesotho Vulnerability Assessment Committee (LVAC) presentation of July 2022, the food insecure population is likely to increase further due to decreased livelihoods opportunities like remittances, employment, income from livestock as well as increased food and non-food commodities prices. About 25 percent of the Basotho population, estimated at 521,000 (320,000 individuals in rural areas and 201,000 individuals in urban areas) are facing food insecurity, up from the 470,000 people that were food insecure in 2021 and 2022. Poor and very poor households are likely to experience food gaps which will intensify slightly during the lean season period (October 2022-March 2023).
