Super El Nino, War Threaten Global Food Prices Until 2028
13 Jul
Summary
- Super El Nino cycle could cause food price shocks lasting until 2028.
- Iran war has already pushed global food prices to a three-year high.
- NOAA predicts a 'very strong' El Nino event for 2026-27.
A potent El Nino event anticipated for 2026-27 could severely impact global food prices, with economists forecasting potential shocks extending until 2028. This weather phenomenon, characterized by warming Pacific waters, is predicted by NOAA to be a "very strong" occurrence, increasing the likelihood of extreme weather events.
The confluence of this impending El Nino and the ongoing conflict in Iran has already propelled world food prices to their highest point in three years. These dual pressures are creating substantial strain on global supply chains, exacerbating the risk of further price escalations and scarcity.
