What happened

Well supportedReported by 9 independent outlets

A strong El Niño is intensifying, bringing risks of extreme heat, drought, and floods to Asia. In India, an uneven monsoon has led to concerns over crop yields, while geopolitical tensions in West Asia are driving up global commodity prices. The United Nation’s Food and Agricultural Organisation reported that the global food price tracker rose to its highest level since 2022 due to El Niño shortages and disruptions from the West Asia war.
