JRC MARS Bulletin - Global outlook - Crop monitoring European neighbourhood - Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt - June 2021
Belt of negatively impacted cereals in North Africa, centred on Algeria
According to the JRC MARS Bulletin on North Africa, the cereal campaign in North Africa was marked by rainfall deficits often accompanied by above-average temperatures in Algeria, central Tunisia and western Libya.
Seasonal conditions in terms of water supply and temperatures prevailed in Morocco and the north-eastern Maghreb.
Unfavourable weather conditions hampered crop biomass accumulation during grain filling in large parts of Algeria.
Dry conditions hampered crop growth along the north-western coast of Libya.
Beneficial weather conditions sustained the cereals campaign in Morocco, allowing above-average crop biomass accumulation from flowering to ripening.
Average to positive growth conditions are registered for cereals in the main coastal and inland agricultural areas of Tunisia.
As a consequence, the yield outlook for cereals is above the 5-year average in Tunisia and (most distinctly) in Morocco, and distinctly below the 5-year average in Algeria; whereas the yield outlook for Libya and Egypt is more in line with the 5-year average.
