Special Report – 2024 FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM) to the Lebanese Republic
At the request of the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), a joint FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM) visited the country from 15 to 28 July 2024 to estimate the 2024 crop production, identify factors that affected production, forecast staple food import requirements for the 2024/25 marketing year (July/June), analyse the domestic food market and assess the acute food security situation. The Mission identified measures to address some of the most pressing challenges in the agriculture sector with the aim of improving national food security and safety as well as strengthening the performance of the sector in line with the Lebanon National Agriculture Strategy (NAS) 2021–2025.The escalating conflict since September 2024 poses serious risks to agricultural production, which has been an important source of income and employment since the financial collapse which started in October 2019, endangering its ability to support livelihoods, especially for vulnerable communities.The CFSAM was conducted at the end of July 2024, prior to the recent expansion in the intensity of the South border conflict taking place in Lebanon since 8 October 2024. At the time of finalization of this report, the ongoing conflict had further intensified and expanded beyond South, leading to the displacement of up to an estimated 1 million people inside the country, according to Lebanese authorities, with more than 258 000 persons between Lebanese and Syrian refugees having crossed the border to the Syrian Arab Republic as well, as of 10 October 2024.

At the request of the Government of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, a joint FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM) visited the country from 7 to 21 December 2024. The objectives of the CFSAM (henceforth referred to as the Mission) were to estimate staple food crop production in 2024, assess the impact of multiple flood events and other factors affecting the agriculture sector, determine cereal import requirements for the 2024/25 marketing year (September/August) and evaluate the severity and magnitude of acute food insecurity. The Mission identified a broad set of key measures to address the urgent needs of small-scale farmers impacted by weather hazards, providing recommendations to support a sustainable increase in small-scale farmers’ agricultural production and proposed interventions to address acute food insecurity. The Mission provides a comprehensive set of recommendations to support sustainable growth in the agriculture sector and recovery in the regions impacted by weather shocks. The Mission also outlines a number of measures to address the acute food insecurity situation. The Mission findings highlight that limited economic access among vulnerable households to meet basic needs, coupled with the impact of extreme weather events, are key drivers of acute food insecurity in the country.

This report presents the findings of an assessment of the damages and losses sustained by Lebanon’s agriculture sector due to the conflict between 8 October 2023 and 27 November 2024, which serves as the end date for this analysis. This assessment, conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO's) Data in Emergencies Impact (DIEM-Impact) System, relied primarily on remote data collection and analytics, and the information available within the assessment timeframe to provide preliminary and partial estimates. The actual value of the total damages and losses to the agriculture sector is expected to exceed the figures presented in this report. Additionally, the report provides estimates of recovery and reconstruction needs, along with a recovery strategy for the sector to inform a comprehensive Emergency and Recovery Plan currently in development by FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture.FAO established DIEM-Impact to provide a granular and rapid understanding of the impact of large-scale hazards on agriculture and agricultural livelihoods using a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information, remote sensing technologies, and FAO’s damage and loss methodology. DIEM-Impact presents a regularly updated and accessible state of food insecurity in fragile environments, and helps underpin FAO's programming based on evidence.
