El Niño could materially affect global agricultural output and food supplies.

How it reaches your house.
Starting from Sugar, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Cereal Grain (Oats / Corn / Wheat / Rice) →Shortage riskThis downstream good is explicitly marked as critically dependent on cereal grains (dependency_strength=0.9), so El Niño-driven grain tightness should directly create supply shortfalls.
95% confidenceSunflower seeds →Prices riseSunflower seeds are a critical oilseed input, so a harvest shock transmits quickly into higher cooking-oil costs.
87% confidenceSunflower seeds →Shortage riskUkraine accounts for 29% of global sunflower-seed supply, so it is highly exposed to any global sunflower-seed output shock.
Hop 2
Breakfast cereal & grains →Shortage riskCereal Grain (Oats / Corn / Wheat / Rice)
El Niño-driven crop output declines tighten the critical cereal-grain input, which has very high dependency strength (0.9) for breakfast cereal production.
92% confidencePepsiCo →Prices easeCelsius says sales to Pepsi were 43.2% of its net revenue, so a PepsiCo production hit would materially reduce Celsius's orders and pressure its pricing.
92% confidenceSugarcane →Shortage riskHop 3
Walmart Inc. →Shortage riskWalmart is Smucker's largest customer at 34% of net sales, so a Walmart-side food-supply squeeze would materially reduce Smucker's order volume.
84% confidenceIndia →Shortage riskIndia supplies 80% of turmeric, so an El Niño-driven reduction in Indian agricultural output would likely tighten turmeric availability.
83% confidenceWalmart Inc. →Shortage risk
