A report launched at COP31 by Türkiye’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and IFAD estimates that a severe El Niño could cause $11 trillion in lost country income over the next five to six years. It also describes how 2026 energy and fertilizer shocks raised costs across food production, processing and distribution, particularly for small-scale farmers.
The estimate highlights the potential for climate and input-cost shocks to damage farm output and food-system activity worldwide. It signals broad production risk, but does not identify a specific commodity price move.
