The Indian rice export ban, the war in Ukraine and El Niño are combining…

There’s a war in El Niño? What does that even mean? I thought El Niño was a weather thing, not a location.

You’re probably joking, but in case you’re not or anyone else is confused;

There are three reasons listed for the price skyrocketing:

  1. The Indian rice export ban

  2. The war in Ukraine

  3. El Niño

No no no… The war in Ukraine and El Nino are combining. Someone figured out how to weaponize the weather for use in the war.
