In #CentralAmerica & the #Caribbean, land preparation for the Primera season is underway. Dry conditions are forecast from July to September, but an active hurricane season could bring sporadic heavy downpours.#CM4EW report available at cropmonitor.org

In #SoutheastAsia, rice harvests are progressing well overall, though some localized damage occurred in Myanmar from a recent earthquake. #CM4EW May report covering April crop conditions available at cropmonitor.org

In Central & SouthAsia, while favourable yields are expected for winter wheat crops, there is concern for spring wheat due to dry conditions that are forecast to continue through July in most areas. #CM4EW cropmonitor.org in collaboration with @climatehazardscenter

In #SouthernAfrica, harvest is nearing completion, and mid-season rainfall improvements significantly benefitted crop development, except in parts of #Angola, #Zambia, #Malawi, #Mozambique, #Madagascar, and #SouthAfrica where concern remains. #CM4EW cropmonitor.org

In the #MiddleEast & #NorthAfrica, wheat harvest is underway, and below-average rains received this season are expected to result in reduced yields across many areas. #CM4EW cropmonitor.org

In #WestAfrica, planting is ramping up with generally favourable conditions despite some localized rainfall deficits. More details available on the #CM4EW May report available at cropmonitor.com

In #EastAfrica, dry conditions continue to impact crop development despite recent rainfall improvement; however, average to above-average precipitation is likely in western areas through July. #CM4EW March report available at cropmonitor.org with @climatehazardscenter

Available now! #CM4EW May report covering continuing dry concerns in East Africa despite recent rainfall, early season dry concerns for spring wheat in Central & SouthAsia, improved maize conditions in Southern Africa & more. cropmonitor.org @climatehazardscenter

In #CentralAmerica & the #Caribbean, planting for the #Primera season will commence in April. In Cuba, recurring blackouts in March may have hampered agricultural activities. #CM4EW report available at cropmonitor.org

In #SoutheastAsia, harvesting of wet-season rice continues in the south while development of dry-season rice continues in the north, and conditions are generally favourable except in #Brunei where recent heavy rains disrupted harvesting activities. #CM4EW cropmonitor.org

Winter wheat continues to develop under mostly favorable conditions in #CentralAsia, except in rainfed areas of eastern #Pakistan where drought is reducing production prospects. Most areas are expected to receive below-average rains in early April. #CM4EW cropmonitor.org

In #Southern Africa, below-average rains to continue in some rainfall deficit areas of #Madagascar, and storm impacts may reduce yields in parts of #Mozambique and #Madagascar. #CM4EW cropmonitor.org in collaboration with @climatehazardscenter

In #SouthernAfrica, mid-season rainfall improvements have significantly benefitted ongoing crop development, except in southern #Angola, northern #Malawi, and northern #Madagascar where dry concerns remain. #CM4EW cropmonitor.org

Across the #MiddleEast & #NorthAfrica, a poor start to the seasonal rains significantly hindered crop development. Despite recent rainfall improvements, yields are expected to be below-average in parts of #Morocco, #Algeria, #Lebanon, #Syria & #Iran #CM4EW cropmonitor.org

In #WestAfrica, land preparation and planting of main season cereals are ramping up along the south, and agro-climatic conditions are favourable as rains received in March are supporting planting and germination#CM4EW cropmonitor.org

In #EastAfrica, above-average rains were received across parts of the subregion in March, but longer-term concerns remain for some regions along the eastern #HornofAfrica. #CM4EW report available at cropmonitor.org in collaboration with @climatehazardscenter

In #EastAfrica, there is concern for #Belg season cereals in much of #Ethiopia and for main season cereals in parts of #Rwanda, #Burundi, #Uganda, #Kenya, and #Tanzania due to a poor start to the seasonal rains. #CM4EW March report available at cropmonitor.org

Released today! #CM4EW March report covering concern for cereals in much of #Ethiopia & main season cereals in eastern #EastAfrica, poor prospects in #NorthAfrica & the #MiddleEast, rainfall improvements in #SouthernAfrica & more. cropmonitor.org @climatehazardscenter
