An OCHA report reviews the 2015-2016 El Niño, one of the strongest on record, and its impacts on Asia and the Pacific. It draws lessons for building resilience to extreme climate events.
The report is a retrospective on past impacts and does not describe a current supply event, so it has no direct effect on near-term feed grain or oilseed prices.
