The 2012 rice cropping season hadexperienced favourable weatherRainfall was either near or above long term average in most of the rice growing districts except in Baucau (Figure 1). Most districts experienced drier than average weather during the month of August 2012 (Figure 3). The Normal Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) temporal-profiles remained near the long-term average in main rice growing areas of Timor-Leste (Figure 4). Good vegetation performance confirmed favourable rice growing conditions and higher rice yields and production in 2012 crop season especially in the most rice productive districts of BaucauViqueque, Manatuto, Covalima, Bobonaro and Ainaro (Figure The six mentioned districts produce approximately 83% of the total rice production in Timor-Leste.

The temporal analysis (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) profile) from the main rice growing areas confirms that the vegetation activity was near the long term average during the main 2012 cropping season and good harvests for the main rice have been inevitable. �
