> The Philippines’ Department of Agriculture reported ₱9.99 billion in agricultural damage and losses associated with El Niño, affecting more than 324,000 farmers and damaging over 323,000 hectares across 16 regions. Reported production losses totaled 288,424 tonnes, while rice output is projected to fall by about one million tonnes from 2025 and corn output by a further 500,000 tonnes. The country faces prolonged dry conditions through the first half of 2027, alongside higher input costs and damage from flooding.

## Why it matters
