crop loss

Agricultural yield decline

Crop loss is the reduction or destruction of agricultural yield due to weather, disease, pests, or other factors.

Farmers may carry insurance against crop loss, and governments often provide disaster relief when losses are widespread.

The drought caused significant crop loss across the region.
