World in 10 Overview

01

Canada - Are vegetation indices satisfactory across the durum wheat area?

Yes

 NDVI values across southern Saskatchewan and Alberta are mostly above average ①, with NDVI curves reaching levels comparable to those observed in 2024 ②. 

02

USA - Is crop vigor uniform across the spring wheat area?

No

 Vegetation indices remain below average across the eastern spring wheat area ①, with NDVI values suggesting delayed crop development rather than genuinely poor crop vigor ②. To be monitored! 

03

USA - Are corn crop conditions generally satisfactory?

Yes

 Vegetation indices are above average across most of the Corn Belt ①, as are soil moisture levels ②. 

04

Brazil - Does the moisture situation remain satisfactory across the wheat area?

Yes

 Soil moisture levels, which are near to or above average across the southern part of the country ①, are expected to remain at satisfactory levels in the coming days ②. 

05

Argentina - Is the dry pattern continuing across the country?

Yes

 Rainfall over the past 10 days has been below average across most of the wheat area currently under sowing ①. Dry weather is expected to persist in the coming days ②. This trend will need to be monitored, but it is not yet a concern, as cool temperatures are limiting evapotranspiration. To be monitored! 

06

Australia - Are moisture conditions still favorable?

Yes

 Soil moisture is near or above average across most of the wheat area ①, supporting generally satisfactory NDVI values at this stage ②. 

07

Europe - Is corn withstanding the hot and dry conditions in France?

No

 Rainfall over the next 10 days is expected to be well below average across the continent, particularly in the western part ①. This dry trend is likely to worsen the drop in vegetation indices observed in key French corn-producing areas ②. 

08

Europe - Is the current season beginning to resemble Italy’s disastrous 2022 corn season?

Yes

 Rainfall over the next 10 days is expected to remain well below average across Europe ①. In Italy, hot and dry conditions appear to be reducing crop vigor in the country's main corn-producing region, with conditions approaching those observed during the disastrous 2022 season ②. 

09

Ukraine - Will the expected rainfall across the central part of the country benefit the corn crop?

Yes

 Above-average rainfall is expected across the main corn-producing region in the coming days ①. Soil moisture is currently low but should improve thanks to this rainfall ②. However, moisture levels are still expected to remain somewhat low, meaning additional rainfall will be needed in the coming weeks. 

10

India - Is the monsoon continuing across the central part of the country?

Yes

 Rainfall over the coming days is expected to be above average across the central-western part of the country, a key corn- and soybean-producing region ①. In this area, cumulative rainfall indicates a slightly delayed monsoon, but one that remains close to average at this stage ②. To be monitored!
