Resumen

AJETOMOBI, Joshua; ABIODUN, Ajiboye  y  HASSAN, Rashid. Impacts of climate change on rice agriculture in Nigeria. Trop. subtrop. agroecosyt [online]. 2011, vol.14, n.2, pp.613-622. ISSN 1870-0462.

This study employed the Ricardian approach to test the relative importance of climate normals (average long-term temperature and precipitation) in explaining net revenue from Nigerian rice agriculture under irrigation and dry land conditions. A survey was done by interviewing 1200 rice farmers from 20 rice producing states in Nigeria. The states covered all the six geopolitical zones in the country. The results showed that increase in temperature will reduce net revenue for dry land rice farms while net revenue rises with increase in temperature for irrigated rice farms. Precipitation had similar effects on rice net revenue. Increase in precipitation will cause reduction in revenue for dry land rice farms whereas it will cause increase in revenue for irrigated farms. The results clearly demonstrate irrigation as a significant techniques used by the farmers to adapt to the climate change. Other adaptation options include Keeping of livestock, engaging in off farm works and the use of different market channels.

Palabras llave : Climate change; Irrigation; Net Revenue; Nigeria.
