The GEOGLAM Crop Monitor for Early Warning (No. 46) reports that southern Africa has concerns over main-season maize and sorghum due to dry conditions from poor October to December rains and below-average February forecasts. Yields in East Africa and Southeast Asia were mixed or average, with flood and drought damage noted.
Dryness in southern Africa's maize and sorghum belt could cut regional supplies and lift prices for feed grains that buyers source from the region.
