BEIJING (Commodity Online) : China’s northern provinces remained under extreme drought as the region eagerly awaits projected snow and rain for the next three days which may ease the situation.
According to China’s National Meteorological Center, Henan, the top wheat-growing region, and southern Shandong, the second-biggest producer, may get as much as 3 millimeters of rain or snow by Feb. 10.
Anhui and Jiangsu provinces are also expected to get rain or snow, the weather forecaster’s added.
About 35 percent of the wheat crop in China’s eight main- growing regions has been affected by dry conditions since October.
The devastated drought has badly damaged the winter wheat crop and left the ground very dry for the spring planting.
