MAURITANIA:

Growing conditions are favourable so far and harvest prospects for rainfed crops are good. Rains resumed in the south in the second dekad of August. They were above normal and widespread during the third dekad. Unusually heavy rains were recorded at Aļoun El Atrouss, causing significant losses in Tchitt. Early millet and sorghum are developing satisfactorily.

Pastures are in good condition. Low numbers of Desert Locust adults are likely to be present in central and southern areas where they could lay eggs now with the improvement of breeding conditions. No significant developments are likely.
