SENEGAL:

Generally above normal rains permitted widespread plantings in the south and the centre. Following substantial early rains in the south-east in mid-May, rains progressed northwards in June and were above last year's level and generally above normal. The weather remained dry up to late June in the north where rains started in early July, permitting plantings to start. Plantings of coarse grains are now well underway in the centre, while crops are emerging satisfactorily in the south and the east.

Pastures have started to regenerate in the centre. No pest activity has been reported. The government has distributed 73 273 tonnes of phosphate fertilizers at farmers level in the framework of its programme "phosphatage de fond".
