El Nino, a warming of water surface temperatures in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean, is expected to develop in the coming months, according to meteorologists.
The onset of monsoon rains across South Asia is likely to be slightly delayed this year and El Nino could hit rice and oilseeds production.
"El Nino could develop during July ... it might have an impact in the second half of the season," said O.P.
"In general, a big part of the Pampean region and Northern Argentina have above-normal rains with the El Nino phenomenon."
In Europe, where El Nino is not typically linked to pronounced weather patterns, major crops are in good shape after abundant spring rain, with the exception of drought-hit Spain.
