The Impacts of the El Niño and La Niña on Large Grain Producing Countries in ECA : Yield, Poverty and Policy Response

There is a need to further examine and enhance knowledge concerning the relationship among El Niño and La Niña cycles, drought events, and grain production in the Russian Federation, Ukraine and Kazakhstan (RUK) region, which accounts for more than...
