Exaustão/desidratação
(Crop) depletion/dehydration ('crop shrinkage')


Explanation:
Often the exaustão (ESP) agotamiento term means depletion.

This is an agri-context - which made me wonder whether dehydration might not be literally right.

Shrinkage might be OK if prefixed with crop. Having worked in well-known department stores in London, I am all too aware of the negative - employee theft of goods - connotation of 'stock shrinkage'.


Example sentence(s):
  • Food dehydration is a process of reducing moisture of food to low levels for improved shelf life ... In most food dehydration processes, air is the drying medium.
  • Shrinkage, or the gradual loss of plants over time, occurs at every stage of the supply
