The Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry has a plan to reduce the potential impact of a looming Super El Nino, warning that hotter temperatures and below-normal rainfall could threaten crops, water supplies and rural incomes this year.
Agriculture Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit said on Monday that the ministry had instructed all agencies to adopt four key strategies -- storage, replenishment, adjustment and monitoring -- to reduce risks to farmers and ensure water security.
