Negative yield outlook in western and central Maghreb
In the western countries of North Africa, cereal yield potentials were severely affected by drought, in large parts of Morocco and the northwestern regions of Algeria. In the central and eastern coastal regions of Algeria, abundant rainfall in February and wide availability of irrigation enabled crops to recover from the preceding dry conditions, to above-average biomass accumulation levels. In Tunisia, evenly distributed rainfall in February and early March, coupled with warm temperatures, sustained above-average crop growth throughout the review period. In Libya, heatwaves during flowering hampered crop growth in the western coast belt area, while average to above-average biomass accumulation is observed in the main agricultural region in the north-east. Favourable growing conditions have prevailed in the main cereal-producing regions of Egypt.
