Crop development progress wassatisfactory, in spite of a shortage of rainfall in June and July in the mainproducing areas, as also evidenced by the NDVI profiles.

Cultivated arable land fractionincreased 8.6% compared to the five-year average, pointing at satisfactory outputfrom the current season.
