A senior UN Food and Agriculture Organization official warned that Latin America is likely to face an intense El Niño between October and December. Máximo Torero said the region could suffer a “double blow” from extreme weather stress and reduced access to key agricultural inputs such as fertilizers and hybrid seeds. He linked part of the supply disruption to pressures affecting global shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Torero urged governments to prepare for uneven impacts, including flooding in some areas and drought in others, with policies ready for both risks at once.
