    Introduction: according to the Japanese economic news, the possible El Nino phenomenon this summer will have an impact on the price of grain and feed materials According to the observation of Japan Meteorological Agency, Tokyo University and NASA, there is a high possibility of abnormal weather El Nino this summer According to the observation by Professor of Tokyo University, the water in the Pacific Ocean is moving from west to East, which is nearly 3 ℃ higher than the normal year, which has formed the condition for the occurrence of El Nino this summer It is estimated that although the level of El Nino this year will not be as serious as that in 1997-1998, it has already affected the grain and feed markets The price of raw material fish meal for livestock and farmed fish feed is rising This is because of the abnormal weather, which makes the catch of the sea area near Peru (fish side plus yes) drop sharply The size of the fish caught is only 10 cm, but it is at least more than 12 cm to be used as the raw material of fish feed The protein content of the fish is insufficient Due to the fall of fishing in Peru last autumn, the wholesale price of fish meal is currently 100800 yen per ton (about 130 yen per dollar), which is bound to lead to an increase in the price of fish feed in the future Palm oil prices in Malaysia are now $315 a tonne, up 8.6% from last year, due to increased demand from China This year's unusual weather conditions have raised concerns in the industry, as palm oil prices rose to $700 a tonne in the 1998 drought In addition, the Midwest of the United States, one of the corn, soybean and other grain producing areas, suffered from drought in 1988 and waterlogging in 1999, which caused the increase of grain prices in the international market Therefore, people are also concerned about this year's situation.
