Mercy Corps Market Analysis Unit: Market Snapshot - Rathedaung, Minbya, Pauktaw, Kyauktaw, Rakhine State (May 24, 2023)

Description: 

"This rapid Market Snapshot presents data to support Cyclone Mocha disaster response efforts. Data were collected through observation and KIIs during May 23-24, 2023. Reports available at www.themimu.info/market-analysis-unit. KEY FINDINGS Market damage remained a major concern for vendors ten days after Cyclone Mocha made landfall; Market operations in Rathedaung and Pauktaw were particularly limited; Plastic tarp prices were up 200-300% across markets, and many shelter materials were still in short supply; Food prices were far more stable than NFI prices, al-though rice prices were increasing somewhat; Metal roofing, nails and tarps were understocked, with demand outpacing retailer's ability to resupply; Retailers lacked access to suppliers, and poor transportation/communication networks inhibited restocking; Both in-kind and cash assistance remain important aid modalities as the speed and degree of market and Supply chain recovery continues to vary by location..."
