Agricultural Research Council experts warned Northern Cape farmers in South Africa to prepare for severe El Niño impacts. A climate forecast cited a 50% to 60% chance of below-normal rainfall across much of the province’s interior through January, following a prolonged drought that began in 2015.
Below-normal rainfall could worsen local drought stress, reducing crop and pasture availability and increasing pressure on livestock feed demand. The article does not identify a specific feed commodity or quantify production losses.
