Pie chart description
Each slice represents a country's share of total AMIS production (5-year average). Main producing countries (representing 95 percent of production) are shown individually, with the remaining 5 percent grouped into the “Other AMIS Countries” category. The proportion within each national slice is colored according to the crop conditions within a specific growing area; grey indicates that the respective area is out of season. Sections within each slide are weighted by the sub-national production statistics (5-year average) of the respective country. The section within each national slice also accounts for multiple cropping seasons (i.e. spring and winter wheat). When conditions are other than "favorable", icons are added that provide information on the key climatic drivers affecting conditions. For more information, please visit GEOGLAM.
- In the EU, conditions are currently mixed due to cold and wet weather in northern Europe along with warmer and drier-than-average weather in the south. The spring weather will determine final yields.
- In the UK, continuing excessive rainfall remains a concern.
- In Türkiye, conditions are favourable.
- In Ukraine, due to high winter temperatures, plant growth and development have restarted in some areas, benefiting crops that had reduced development in the fall due to dry conditions, however, the active warzone and dry conditions in the south remain a concern.
- In the Russian Federation, dry conditions remain in some areas of the Caucasus despite some recent precipitation.
- In China, conditions are favourable for winter wheat as spring green-up begins.
- In India, conditions are favourable with an increase in total sown area compared to last year.
- In the US, unseasonably warm weather in late February has brought winter wheat out of dormancy about two weeks earlier than normal across the southern half of the country.
- In Canada, winter wheat conditions are generally favourable, however, below-average winter precipitation and a lack of adequate snow cover places parts of the Prairies at risk of winterkill.
