      <video:title><![CDATA[El Niño & food inflation: Is there a difference this time?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[The prospect of a powerful El Niño event is back in focus after climate forecasters signalled a high probability of conditions strengthening into late 2026 and early 2027. While South Africans may immediately associate El Niño with drought, crop losses and higher food prices, the inflation story may be more nuanced. Food's weighting in the consumer price basket has fallen significantly over the past two decades, raising questions about whether a weather shock of this magnitude would have the same impact on headline inflation as it did during the 2015-16 drought. Joining CNBC Africa for more on this is  Annabel Bishop, Chief Economist, Investec and Wandile Sihlobo, Chief Economist, Agricultural Business Chamber Of South Africa.]]></video:description>
