Based mostly on the regional NDVI profile, CropWatch assesses the condition of crops in Southern China as below the 5YA. NDVI value was below average in October, November, December, and January, although it was just only above average or remaining average in late-December and late-January. According to  weather data,  Southern China suffered from heavy snowfall and cold temperature during reporting period. 

According to the agroclimatic and agronomic indexes, Southern China experienced average rainfall and temperature (RAIN, +1%; TEMP,-0.2℃). The radiation (RADPAR) was significantly below average (-13%).  The potential biomass was close to average too (BIOMSS,+4%) and so was the cropped arable land fraction (CALF,-1%). The maximum VCI was 0.68 indicating an unfavorable crop condition. The averages hide a lot of sub-regional variability and differences. 

As shown by NDVI clusters and maps, NDVI was close average from October to December  throughout the region. Only about 3% (a small  zone in Guangxi) had a drop in NDVI in January.  This behavior may be related to deficit in rainfall (RAIN, -13%), inadequate radiation (RADPAR -21%) but average temperature (-0.4℃) in Guangxi. In Guangdong, rainfall and biomass were both 10% above average while TEMP was average (-0.3℃). RADPAR was well below expectations (-15%). Similar situations also occurred in Yunnan and Fujian. According to VCIx and the biomass anomaly map,  crop condition was poor in Southern China.
