Following three consecutive seasons of tight supply, favorable fall and winter conditions have been followed by abundant spring precipitation across Spain, with the notable exception of the eastern part of the country.

Early spring precipitations in Andalucía came as a relief, refilling water reservoirs. However, this allowed for only a marginal recovery in area planted to cotton, as rains arrived when planting plans were already in place and largely oriented to less water-demanding crops such as winter grains or early spring-planted sunflower.

In 2019, the United States exported $1.94 billion worth of agricultural, fish and forest products to Spain.

During its fourth week under lockdown, recent statistics signal that Spain may be entering the “stabilization and slowdown” phase of this pandemic.
