The growing season has started in the south. The first significant rains were registered in the extreme south in April. They progressed northwards and were above normal during the first dekad of May but they decreased during the second dekad. Precipitation resumed during the last dekad. Rains improved and progressed northwards during the first dekad of June. Land preparation is underway and first planting of millet and sorghum has started in the south. Pastures are generally adequate.
Seed availability is good following the two successive 1008 and 1009 record
crops. Low numbers of Desert Locusts may be present and are likely to persist
in a few wadis in the Adrar des Iforas. Limited laying could occur once the
seasonal rains commence.
