The GEOGLAM Crop Monitor for Early Warning (No. 89, published December 7, 2023, conditions as of November 28) reports mixed harvests in East Africa from flooding, favourable West African conditions, and El Nino-linked dryness in southern Africa. It also notes dry conditions in parts of Central and South Asia and drought affecting Thailand's rice.
Mostly regional food-security signals with limited global price impact, though Thai rice drought and El Nino dryness support a firmer rice outlook.
