Super El Niño intensifies, threatening global food security
Overview
The 2026–27 Super El Niño, nicknamed “Godzilla,” is reaching unprecedented intensity, with the World Meteorological Organization warning it could be the strongest since 1950.
Global agricultural supplies are under severe threat. In West Africa, rainfall deficits could reduce cocoa production in Ivory Coast by 11% and Ghana by 13%. Coffee crops in Brazil and Vietnam are also at risk due to rising temperatures and reduced rainfall. Sugar production is facing a potential global shortage; heavy rain is hindering harvesting in Brazil, while India faces its weakest monsoons since 2015, and drought impacts Thailand and the United States. Additionally, drought conditions threaten rubber and oil palm plantations.
Regional weather extremes are escalating. In Vietnam, Northern Vietnam is experiencing unseasonably high temperatures, with Hanoi and the Northern Delta recording up to 38.3°C. The Mekong Delta faces critical water security risks, with saltwater intrusion potentially penetrating 50–70 km into river mouths, threatening aquaculture and rice farming. In South America, Argentina is seeing soil erosion from saturated ground, while Uruguay expects above-normal rainfall. In Burundi, the United Nations warns that over one million people could be affected by heavy rainfall.
Extreme weather events, such as the rapid intensification of Category 5 Hurricane Polo, have already resulted in fatalities, with scientists linking the event to the combination of climate change and El Niño.
