El Niño, a global weather pattern, is often linked to weaker monsoon rainfall in India. This phenomenon can exacerbate agricultural challenges, leading to reduced crop yields and higher prices for vegetables. A poor winter harvest, which is often a consequence of a weak monsoon, can prolong high vegetable prices into the following year. Understanding the relationship between global weather patterns like El Niño and local agricultural output is crucial for anticipating and mitigating food price inflation.
