It's World Mental Health Day

Today is a reminder that not only #poverty, but income uncertainty has a negative effect on the mental health of farmers in low-income countries

We explored this using volatility in the price of coffee in #Vietnam🇻🇳: https://t.co/GMkC8M5Za6

#Mozambique in 2020🇲🇿

👉Consumption - decreased by 7.1%–14.4%
👉Poverty - increased by 4.3–9.9 percentage points

The poverty increase corresponds to about 2 million people entering poverty in less than a year.

The #coffee sector in #Tanzania creates direct income for about 400k smallholder farmers who produce 90% of it mainly for export.

If not well-managed, international commodity price fluctuations put a strain on the #poverty reduction endeavors.

Upward international coffee price fluctuation is associated with improvement in childhood nutritional status in rural #Tanzania

In this paper, we examine the potential impact of commodity price fluctuations on the nutritional status of children

Changing men’s behaviour in practice requires stronger, more sustained interventions.
