Synopsis (short abstract) Cox’s Bazar is one of the poorest and most vulnerable districts in Bangladesh, with development indicators that are far below the national average. Addressing the food security and livelihood needs of both refugees and host communities will require strengthening food systems, localizing production, enhancing market linkages and strengthening sustainable natural resource management.

Political upheaval, climate-induced disasters and high food prices are driving a worsening humanitarian crisis in Bangladesh, with nearly 16 million people facing high acute food insecurity. Over 1 million refugees are reliant on humanitarian aid, including 120 000 new arrivals this year. In 2024, Cyclone Remal in May and severe monsoon rains and flash floods in June–September further disrupted livelihoods and food security in refugee camps. An effective humanitarian response in 2025 must prioritize agricultural livelihoods to help both refugee and host communities break free from reliance on food aid. This document provides a summary of the planned response and funding requirements of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations within the framework of the 2025 Rohingya Humanitarian Crisis Joint Response Plan for Bangladesh.

Nearly 1 million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar are entirely dependent on humanitarian aid to meet their basic food needs. In 2023, reduced food rations and devastating cyclones further compromised food security within the refugee camps, leading to a decline in refugees’ daily food consumption. Continued support for both the Rohingya and Bangladeshi communities in Cox’s Bazar is crucial to address their urgent food security challenges. By enhancing agricultural practices and supporting local livelihoods, we can help ensure a more resilient and food-secure future for Rohingya refugees and their host communities. This document provides an overview of FAO's requirements within the framework of the Joint Response Plan for the Rohingya Humanitarian Crisis in Bangladesh.

Since 25 August 2017, 688 000 Rohingya refugees escaping violence and persecution in Myanmar have settled in camps, settlements and within host communities in Cox’s Bazar district, Bangladesh, bringing the total number of refugees in the area to more than 900 300. The large number of new arrivals has placed extensive pressure on the environment and on local services, and increased the need for emergency food and nutrition support for refugees and host communities.
