Poor yield outlook for winter crops in Algeria - Crops doing fairly well in the rest of North Africa
In North Africa, the winter cereal season has been marked by exceptionally warm conditions in most of the region and a severe rainfall deficit in central and western Maghreb. Compared to an average season, the sowing campaign took place on time in Tunisia, western Libya and Egypt, but was delayed by 2-3 weeks in Morocco and Algeria. Dry conditions persisted in most of central and western Algeria and in north-eastern Morocco. Towards the end of the review period, exceptionally high temperatures in Algeria and western Libya negatively affected crops during flowering. At country level, yield expectations for winter cereals are average to above average in Morocco, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt, but well below the 5-year average in Algeria.
