| Russia experienced very favorable climate conditions from April to July (VCIx=0.96). The winter wheat harvest in the country began in July, while the planting of maize and spring wheat started in April and May. The Cropped Arable Land Fraction was closed to last five-year average (above 100%). In general, Russia experienced cool and wet conditions over the recent four months. Precipitation exceeds the recent average (RAIN, +19%), and the temperature was significantly lower than average (-1.4°C). Mainly due to weather condition, the BIOMSS indicator rose 13% over its five-year average. As shown in the NDVI crop condition development graph for the country as a whole, NDVI was close to the five-year maximum, and crop condition is generally favorable in most parts of Russia’s cropland. Maize and soybean production are expected to increased 4.7% and 4.3%, respectively, over 2016 production, while wheat is estimated to have a production increase of 2.4% compared to last year. Regional analysisFor Russia, closer monitoring is provided for seven regions, namely the Kalingrad region, Caucasus, Volga region, Central region, Southern Urals, South Siberia, and Northwest region. Kalingrad, Volga, and Central and Northwest region Kaliningrad (labeled 94 the map), Volga (97), Central area (98), and Northwest area (101) all experienced extremely wet and cold weather conditions, with rainfall departures in these areas all exceeding +20%, while the temperature departure was below -1°C. According to the crop condition development graph based on NDVI, crop condition was close to the five-year average in most areas except Volga. The average NDVI in the Volga region was similar to the five-year average from June. The crop condition in these areas is favorable. Caucasus, Southern Ural, and South Siberia Unlike most parts of Russia, the rainfall in the Caucasus (95), Southern Urals (99), and South Siberia (100) was close to average (RAIN departure below +6%). The only area in Russia where temperature was more favorable than average was the South Siberian area, and this was just +0.5°C. Due to the agro-climatic conditions, the VCIx in Caucasus and South Siberia is just above 0.92. Crop condition in these two areas is assessed as average Figure 3.27.
