A "super El Niño" climate pattern is expected to develop this year, which could disrupt global weather systems and place severe pressure on international food supply chains. The United States relies heavily on foreign imports for its food and beverage supply, particularly fresh fruits and vegetables. The leading U.S. agricultural imports are processed food and beverages, and tropical products, with Mexico, Canada, European Union, and China being the top trade partners. Rice is the most vulnerable imported product, followed by coffee, cocoa, palm oil, and sugar.

The World Food Programme (WFP) supplies schoolchildren in Afghanistan with fortified biscuits. Getting the supplies into the country is a logistical minefield. The supplies are first sent by boat to the southern Pakistani port of Karachi. The original plan was for the shipment to be transferred to trucks for a 7,000 km trip through Pakistan, but tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan closed the border. A new land corridor from Dubai to landlocked Afghanistan across the Caucasus is the only solution. It's costlier, more complex and adds 8,000 kilometers to the journey, but it's the only remaining option.
