Sarolasta's equatorial climate, plentiful rainfall, and year-round growing season provide excellent conditions for tropical agriculture, almost all of which is concentrated on Grand Sarolasta and Songva-Ngatra. Storm damage to crops and agrarian infrastructure (especially drainage systems and mechanised equipment) is the primary risk factor for farming in the provinces, followed by pests and disease. | Sarolasta's equatorial climate, plentiful rainfall, and year-round growing season provide excellent conditions for tropical agriculture, almost all of which is concentrated on Grand Sarolasta and Songva-Ngatra. Storm damage to crops and agrarian infrastructure (especially drainage systems and mechanised equipment) is the primary risk factor for farming in the provinces, followed by pests and disease.
