This is a time of relatively high activity in local agriculture as farmers in the summer rainfall region prepare their lands for the new crop season. It is also a busy period for vegetable producers. The outlook is positive as we are in a La Niña phenomenon, which usually brings good rain.

Overall, the season for all these commodities is looking positive, promising better yields.
