Overview:

At the end of June, conditions remain generally favourable for maize, rice, and soybeans while mixed for wheat. In the northern hemisphere, areas of concern for wheat remain in North America, Europe, and Central Asia. In the southern hemisphere sowing begins under mixed conditions in Argentina. Maize harvest continues in the southern hemisphere while crop growth continues in the northern hemisphere. Rice conditions remain generally favourable, except southern China and Indonesia. Soybean harvesting is wrapping up in Argentina as sowing wraps up in the northern hemisphere.
