GUINEA-BISSAU

GUINEA-BISSAU:

Crops have been stressed due to decreasing rains in July. After mostly dry weather until early June, substantial rains in mid June permitted land preparation and planting to start. However precipitation significantly decreased in July. Recently planted coarse grains are reportedly suffering water stress in several areas and transplanting of rice from seedbeds to swamp areas has been delayed.

The Locusts situation is calm in general, except in the Gabu region in the east where a few individuals are reported.
