Peru

Potatoes and sorghum are in the harvest phase with good prospects, except in Cajamarca and Arequipa likely due to the reduction of areas planted. Maize, barely, soybean and wheat are in the sowing stage and have benefited from normal rainfall received in cropland areas across Peru in the last month. The Copernicus C3S Multimodel forecast suggests that precipitation will be below normal until the end of the year in the northern coast departments and in central Peru.
