Dust Storm Hits Mali -20% Maize Yield, +15% Operational Costs
dust-stormsA dust storm in Mali is causing significant operational challenges for maize farmers. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) recorded a dense layer of aerosols, reducing photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and impacting crop productivity. This event, occurring during a critical phase of the biological cycle, is projected to reduce maize yield by 20% to 30% and increase operational costs by 15%.
