What happened
The Singapore Food Agency and the National University of Singapore released a study projecting how climate change will affect crop production across Southeast Asia between 2025 and 2044. The report forecasts that average rice production could decline by 3 to 5 percent, while maize output may fall by 5 to 6 percent. Conversely, cassava production is projected to increase by 16 percent, and soybean output could rise by 11 to 13 percent.

Why it matters
The projections indicate that Southeast Asia is expected to face rising temperatures and more variable rainfall, which could disrupt planting schedules and crop yields. The study also found that very strong El Niño events could reduce average crop production across the region by up to 10 percent.
