Negative impact of hurricane Katrina on the settlements, infrastructure and farming​

Geography
1 answer:
kicyunya [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:Las pérdidas de aquellos agricultores que cuenten con la infraestructura que les permita guardar sus

cosechas por 60 a 90 días serán menores. El gobierno estadounidense se muestra optimista dadas las

reservas de los principales compradores de granos del país: China, que es el mayor comprador de

porotos de soya tiene un stock estimado de 4,1 millones de toneladas correspondiente al 10% del

consumo anual del país, y Japón, que es el mayor comprador de trigo norteamericano, tiene reservas de

alrededor de 1,3 millones de toneladas.

El paso de este huracán implicó el cierre de los puertos del Golfo de México y afectó el 95% de la

capacidad de refinación de la zona de Louisiana, lo que significó una reducción de alrededor de un 30%

de la capacidad de refinación de Estados Unidos. De acuerdo a estimaciones de la Agencia Internacional

de Energía (AIE), los cortes de producción se situaron en 1,5 millones de barriles diarios, en el caso del

petróleo, y 2 millones de barriles diarios, en el caso de los productos refinados. La infraestructura afectada

incluye además las refinerías de azúcar más importantes del país, así como la mayor planta de producción

de hidrógeno líquido (producto químico necesario para la manufactura de acero laminado en frío y

semiconductores). A pesar de que la región afectada representa solamente alrededor del 1% de la fuerza

de trabajo de Estados Unidos, representa cerca de 150.000 millones de dólares del comercio exterior del

país (20% del total) de petróleo, acero, granos, madera enchapada y otros bienes que entran a Estados

Unidos por sus puertos. El monto de los daños ocasionados por Katrina se estima que superaría los

100.000 millones de dólares.
