Review the agroclimatic risk forecast for rice cultivation

Published Mar 15, 2025

Tridge summary

The National Agency for the Advancement of Agricultural Health, Safety, and Environment of Peru (SENAMHI) has released the agroclimatic risk forecast for rice cultivation during the March-May 2025 quarter. The forecast predicts varying rainfall and temperature patterns across Peru, with the north and south coasts experiencing below normal to above normal rainfall and daytime temperatures, and normal to above normal nighttime temperatures. The northern jungle anticipates above normal rainfall and temperatures, with dry periods expected in May on the coast. While increased storage in reservoirs on the north coast could benefit rice cultivation, there is also potential for flooding from above-normal March rainfall. The south coast's weather conditions are expected to be favorable for rice cultivation, with a low to medium agroclimatic risk level. The northern jungle's conditions are also suitable for vegetative growth and the corn ripening stage, further reducing the agroclimatic risk to low to medium.

SENAMHI has published the agroclimatic risk forecast for rice cultivation for the March-May 2025 quarter. According to the analysis, rainfall on the north and south coasts is expected to range from below normal to above normal. Daytime and nighttime temperatures are expected to vary between normal and above normal. In the northern jungle, rainfall is forecast to be above normal to above normal, while daytime and nighttime temperatures will range from below normal to above normal. It should be noted that dry periods are expected on the coast in May. North Coast In March, the agroclimatic risk level on the north coast was expected to be medium to high, while between April and May it would range from low to medium. At the beginning of March, the storage levels in reservoirs on the north coast were as follows: Poechos and San Lorenzo (Piura) with 49.9% and 82.3%, respectively; Tinajones (Lambayeque) with 74.8%; and Gallito Ciego (on the border between Cajamarca and La Libertad) ...
