The reporting period corresponds to the harvesting season of rice and the planting season of maize and wheat in Myanmar. As shown by the CropWatch agro-climatic, rainfall increased by 9%; temperature remained almost average (TEMP, +0.2°C), while radiation showed a slight decrease (RADPAR, -3%). The fraction of cropped arable land (CALF) showed no change and the biomass accumulation potential (BIOMSS) increased by 10% compared to its five-year average value. The indicators suggest that sufficient precipitation promoted crop condition, while the area of cultivated farmland remained average.

National crop condition development profiles were above the five-year maximum and exceeded the previous five-year average during the whole period. The spatial NDVI profile values were below average from October to January in some scattered areas of Yangon, while the rest of the country performed well, which is consistent with the maximum VCI map. According to CropWatch indicators and a high maximum VCI value, overall crop condition in Myanmar is good.
