BELOW-AVERAGE RAINS IN NOVEMBER: FARMERS URGED TO MONITOR CROPS CLOSELY
Key Highlights
- November saw rainfall deficits of 30 to 70 percent across most target provinces
- Despite rainfall deficits, earlier October rains sustained most crops, with Preah Vihear,
Kampong Thom, and Oddar Meanchey showing minimal water stress. - Mangoes in many areas reached or surpassed maturity thresholds, requiring immediate harvest to avoid over-ripening, while off-season flowering ensured continued production in some regions.
