The period covered by this bulletin includes the harvest of the 2013 A man rice, the planting of the irrigated Boro rice and wheat, as well as the early season crops, which is now completed.As illustrated in figures A.1-A.3, Bangladesh suffered from a combination of lower rainfall and PAR. The temperature kept the same level as the previous 2001-2013 average. Almost 60 percent of the crops were below average in the current monitoring season. Crop condition during the Aman season from October to December was inferior to that of the recent five year, due to poor rainfall. Only the northern and central southern part of the country show favorable conditions over the whole period from October to the end of January.The distribution of poor crop conditions coincides with the low maximum VCI in the southwest of the country, where the value is less than 0.7. For the irrigated Boro season, crop condition kept balance with that of the previous five year average, indicating good prospects for the future rice crop. As for biomass, the whole country seems to enjoy a more favorable condition than during the recent five year period.
