Harvesting of the 2013 winter season crops, mainly wheat and barley, is currently underway and will continue until the end of July. Based on satellite imagery, relatively normal winter rainfall/snow patterns were recorded between November and February in most of the country.
During the first dekad of March to the second dekad of May, the rainfall remained mostly above-average in eastern parts of the country, while lingered at below average levels in the north-west, affecting potential yields.
