India cuts foodgrain target; USDA trims sugar forecast
Republic of India
— Oct 8, 2026
Drought, erratic monsoon rains and El Niño risks are weighing on India’s agricultural outlook: the government lowered its 2026–27 foodgrain target, while forecasts point to reduced vegetable-oil production and a sharp drop in sugar output. The sugar shortfall could exceed domestic demand, and weaker Indian and Southeast Asian supplies may raise import costs and tighten global markets.

Dermatologists say people taking GLP-1 medications may need to adjust skincare and use caution with harsh retinols because treatment and weight loss can affect skin quality and collagen; they recommend consulting a dermatologist without letting skin changes alone deter appropriate treatment. In eye care, GLP-1 drugs can improve blood sugar and reduce long-term diabetes complications, but rapid glucose improvement may temporarily worsen diabetic retinopathy, and evidence about direct effects on the eyes remains mixed.

Hebrew University of Jerusalem
— Sep 23, 2026
