The Philippine Rice Research Institute has released Vulnerability Risk Assessment maps to guide planting during El Niño-induced dry spells. The color-coded maps rate drought exposure, crop sensitivity and adaptive capacity, and recommend shifts to less water-intensive crops in high-risk areas.
Planting adjustments and crop switches in drought-prone Philippine areas could modestly reduce rice output, a small supply risk for Asian rice markets.
