El Niño is a phenomenon of warming sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, which can affect rainfall and trigger droughts in parts of the world.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the weather changes brought about by El Niño can also disrupt agricultural production in many countries.

"Predicted to emerge in mid-2023, the El Niño phenomenon is a major driver of extreme weather, posing a high risk to global food security," said the FAO in its April 2023 Global Information and Early Warning System Update.

The FAO estimates that this year's El Niño phenomenon could trigger droughts in 42 countries spread across South America, Central America, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region.

The FAO is urging vulnerable countries to prepare for anticipatory measures, ranging from rehabilitating irrigation canals and other water sources, ensuring the availability of livestock feed, to creating support programs for farmers to minimize harvest losses.
