MALI:

Adequate rains so far benefited plantings and crop development. Following first rains in the extreme south in mid-April, precipitation progressed northwards in May and remained generally widespread and regular in June, being more abundant during the third dekad. Precipitation became abundant in the west in early July. Plantings of millet and sorghum are well underway; crops are emerging in the south.

Pastures are good in the south and regenerating further north. The pest situation is calm.
