Accumulatedrainfall and RADPAR for April to July 2014 were below the five-year and thirteen-yearaverages, while temperature was above average. Winter wheat was harvested fromJune to July, and the summer crops (potato and rice) were sown from May. TheCropWatch agroclimatic indices for the current season indicate unfavorableconditions for winter and summer crops, which are confirmed by the decrease ofbiomass by 9%. The national average of VCIx (0.69) indicates just above averageconditions. Poor growth conditions occurred in the Razavi Khorasan, north Khorasan,and the center of Golestan provinces of the northeast region, and the Ardabil,Zanjan, and Hamadan provinces of the northwest regions. Conditions close to orabove the five-year average are mainly distributed in the Khuzestan,Kermanshah, and Fars provinces of the southwest region, and the Mazandaran andGilan provinces of the central-north region. The major rice producing areas (theMazandaran and Gilan provinces near the coast of the Caspian Sea) experienced favorablecrop conditions. Overall, the outcome of winter crops and most summer crops is pooror mixed. The outcome of the rice season, however, is expected to be favorable.
