Rice seedlings have been transplanted following desalination of swamp rice fields. Rains were regular and well distributed in early August. They decreased significantly during the second dekad of the month but became particularly abundant countrywide during the third dekad of August and in early September. These strong rains benefited development of coarse grains in the east and north and the rice crop recently transplanted from seedbeds in the swamp rice fields.
Pastures are abundant. The pest situation remains calm. Some insect attacks have been reported in the south.
