INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY

• Godzilla El Nino threatens agriculture in Southeast Asia: Forecasts of an extremely strong El Nino cycle are putting Southeast Asia at risk of severe droughts, flash floods, and serious haze in 2026, directly threatening agricultural production, water resources, and food security for hundreds of millions of people across the region.

• China revises its Agriculture Law: A draft amendment to the Agriculture Law has been submitted for first review at a session of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee of the National People’s Congress.
