CROP FAILURE: Southern Africa’s El Niño-induced drought will mean that the region will need to import at least an additional three-million tons of maize in the coming months, the Famine Early Warning Systems Network has warned. Maize farmers from Angola to Zambia and Mozambique suffered the worst dry spell in more than a century during the middle of the growing season earlier this year. Photograph: Bloomberg
