What happened
A research house reported that adverse weather patterns linked to El Nino are impacting food security in Malaysia. The country is facing weaker availability of staples and increased reliance on imported agricultural inputs, including rice, wheat, and livestock products. These pressures are compounded by potential geopolitical conflicts, climate change, and currency volatility.
