A U.S. government weather forecaster said on Thursday that an El Niño could emerge by the 2018-19 winter. The last El Niño, a periodic warming of Pacific surface waters, was linked to crop damage, fires and flash floods in 2016.
A developing El Niño raises the risk of drought in key producing regions such as Australia, Southeast Asia and India, which could tighten supplies of grains and oilseeds and support prices later in the crop year.
