Conditions are favorable for wheat, maize and soybeans in the northern hemisphere according to this month's AMIS Market Monitor, while conditions for rice are mixed depending on the country.

The AMIS Market Monitor provides a synopsis of major developments in international commodity markets, focusing on wheat, maize, rice and soybeans. It represents the collective assessment of the ten international organizations that form the AMIS Secretariat concerning the international market situation and outlook.

There is concern over the impact of excessive rainfall in June on maize crops among several major producers and on soybean crops in the US and EU, while excessive dryness is a concern for wheat crops in Spain and western and central Europe. Meanwhile, conditions in the southern hemisphere are favorable as the maize and soybean seasons draw to a close. There are concerns about the impact of dry weather on rice in Thailand, Viet Nam, and the Philipines.
