‘Super’ El Niño could cause global food price shock lasting into 2028, analysts say

The looming "super" El Niño weather cycle is expected to severely disrupt global harvests, exacerbating already elevated food prices due to the Iran war, which has pushed costs to a three-year high. Economists warn that this extreme weather pattern, intensified by global heating, will create a compounding effect on supply chains, leading to a potential food price shock that could last until 2028. This situation underscores the urgent need to address both climate change and geopolitical instability to prevent long-term economic disruptions.
