# Record grain stocks may buffer super El Niño food risks

Why stocks matter: High global grain reserves could cushion food supply shocks from the forecast super El Niño, unlike previous events when stocks were tighter. India's strong reserves: India’s wheat and rice inventories are at multi-year highs, boosting its ability to manage exports, control inflation, and safeguard domestic food security. Risks still loom: El Niño may still harm crops in Asia, Africa, and Australia, with vulnerable economies facing the greatest challenges despite global stockpiles.
