Yucatán, Mexico is facing a severe salt shortage due to damage to the "ponds" used for mineral extraction from heavy rains and increasing seas caused by Tropical Storm Cristóbal and other meteorological phenomena. The damage is expected to result in a failed harvest this year, following a harvest affected by natural disasters during the COVID-19 pandemic.
