CHAD:
Well above normal rains are benefiting coarse grains development countrywide.
Following generally above normal rains in June over most producing areas,
precipitation remained widespread and abundant in July. Well above normal
rains have been received in July in the sahelian zone as well as in the
south-east. Precipitation was particularly abundant in late July in the
eastern regions (in Ouaddaï and Salamat prefectures) and remained
widespread and regular in early August. Cumulative rainfall as of late
July is normal to above normal almost everywhere. Reflecting these favourable
growing conditions, soil moisture reserves are adequate and coarse grains
are developing satisfactorily. Pastures are regenerating well countrywide.
Grasshoppers are reported in Biltine and in Moundou regions. Treatments
have been undertaken in Biltine region. Low numbers of solitary Desert
Locust adults may be present in some parts of B.E.T (Borkou-Ennedi-Tibesti)
and lay on a small scale in areas of favourable conditions.
