GUINEA-BISSAU:

Following reduced rains in mid-June, precipitation became widespread and abundant in late June and early July. The growing season started in mid-May over most parts of the country. Rains decreased in late May, picked up in early June but remained well below normal in mid-June. By contrast, they were above normal in late June and early July, permitting widespread plantings of coarse grains and the desalination of swamp rice fields where the rice seedlings, now in seedbeds, will be transplanted in July/August.
