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..."
