Nigeria farmers predict poor harvest after floods

Nigerian farmers say they are expecting poor harvests this year after heavier than average rains pummeled crops and brought widespread floods. The flooding is affecting most of Nigeria's states and other countries in the region killing hundreds. The floods have blocked or washed away roads, and transporting produce to markets takes longer and costs more money than ever.

Farmers say 20 percent of their goods gets spoiled on the road. According to the national president of the local farmers association, some farmers have lost close to 75 percent of everything planted this year. The damage caused by the floods in Nigeria also extends to livestock in areas like Bayelsa state.
