Rebearth costs
What if crops get lost due to FAW
Figures show that damage caused by FAW can be 26% to 50% of the total yield (source: CABI report “Impacts and implications” October 2018). In the worst case 100% of the crop is lost. If 50% of total inputs is lost due to FAW the damage amounts from $473,= for commercial farmers to $165,= for smallholder farms, per hectare of maize. Total loss will show figures from over $900,= to $375,=
