This reporting period covers the harvesting and sowing stages of winter wheat, as well as the growing and harvesting stages of coarse grains and maize. Crop condition was general unfavorable. Among the CropWatch agroclimatic indicators, RAIN was well above average (175%). The country also experienced excessive rains and low TEMP, but these events were poorly distributed as confirmed by the spatial NDVI patterns and profiles. Throughout the growing season, crop condition was close to average or below in most areas (Navoiy, Bukhara, Kashkadarya, Jizzakh,Namangan, Andijan, and Fergana). Good crop conditions appear in the west—in an area with mostly cotton crops—and south. Winter wheat, which is the most important crop in Uzbekistan, was harvested in June; the next season crop is currently being planted. Unfavorable conditions during June severely affected crops. CropWatch estimates that the wheat production dropped 8% compared with the previous season.
