Super El Nino event this year?

I know it's speculation at this point, but I keep on hearing it's more likely now than previously that there will be a super el nino event.

I was wondering if anyone had thought about potential investment opportunities and, in particular, in the commodity space. I was thinking the below (but keen to get peoples thoughts):

\- wheat

\- rice

\- coffee

\- cocoa

Most of the above is based on droughts expected in key growing countries. In cocoa case this is due to increased risk potential viruses like of black pod and Cocoa Swollen Shoot Virus (CSSV).
