Extreme drought affects California rice harvest or reduces it by half. What impact will extreme weather have on economic life?

Extreme weather has a great influence on economic life. For example, California has been affected by extreme dry weather, so the rice harvest in the whole state has been reduced by half, which is a great loss for farmers in California. The weather is closely related to the growth of crops, which is why some crops are only suitable for planting in a certain place. If you move to other places for planting, even if the technology is mature, it is still impossible for this crop to grow normally due to weather restrictions.

Therefore, from the perspective of agricultural production, the negative impact of extreme weather is very great. Once the weather changes abnormally, the crops in the whole field may die. This is a huge economic loss for farmers who grow it. Because of the high cost of planting crops, these costs are not all invested at the beginning, but are gradually invested in the process of crop growth.

During this period, a lot of human, material and financial support is needed, so once affected by extreme weather, these investments basically have no return. Extreme weather not only affects the growth of crops, but also has adverse effects on production and operation. In extremely dry weather, many places are facing the problem of water shortage. After the river dried up, the hydropower station could not operate. Under such circumstances, the voltage load borne by the whole city is relatively high.

Then, in order to protect people's livelihood, most places will choose to suspend production and operation of electricity. Behind this decision, we need to pay a huge cost, because a factory shut down for one day may lose huge profits, and the cost of shutting down all factories in the whole city is unimaginable. Therefore, the impact of extreme weather on economic life is far greater and more terrible than we thought.
