Wildfire smoke primarily affects crops by reducing sunlight availability, crucial for photosynthesis, leading to stunted growth and lower yields. For cannabis, smoke exposure may cause statewide production losses exceeding 25%.
Cannabis agriculture is more threatened by wildfires than any other crop in California, leading to significant economic losses estimated at $1.44 billion in 2020 and $970.04 million in 2021.
