The maps refer to crop growing areas only and include (a) Crop condition development graph based on NDVI average over crop areas, comparing the January-October 2014 period to the previous season, to the five-year average (5YA), and the five-year maximum. (b)Maximum VCI (over arable land mask) for July 1-October 31, 2014 by pixel; (c) Spatial NDVI patterns from January or April (according to local cropping patterns) up to October 2014 (compared to the 5YA); and (d) NDVI profiles associated with the spatial pattern under (c). See also Annex A, tables A.2-A.10, and Annex B,tables B.1-B.5, for additional information about indicator values and production estimates by country. Country agricultural profiles are posted on www.cropwatch.com.cn.
