Locust swarms have ravaged much of Suwathia, resulting in the loss of vital agriculture  A multinational company has recently proposed using metarhizium, a fungus that invades the exoskeleton of the locust, causing a swift death  The government of Suwathia argues that the one means of application of metarhizia-from an airplane-will require a great amount of the fungus, which is difficult to acquire
Given that the locusts propagate rapidly, the government maintains that only a complete annihilation of a locust swarm will have the desired effect
If all of the locusts are not destroyed, Suwathia will lose millions of acres of crops.
