A good harvest is anticipated. Rains were widespread and above average from late June to early August, but decreased significantly in mid-August. They improved in late August and remained generally widespread and abundant in September. Coarse grains and upland rice crops are developing satisfactorily. Recently transplanted rice is tillering/elongating. Both area under cereals and yields are estimated to have increased over last year, and therefore a record crop is anticipated.
The pest situation remains mostly calm.
A joint FAO/CILSS Crop Assessment Mission is scheduled from 9 to 14 October to estimate the 2000 cereal production.
