| description | The purpose of present study is to empirically analyze the impact of climate change on
three major agricultural crops of Punjab, Pakistan. A variant of Cobb-Douglas production
function is applied on the panel of districts of Punjab covering period from 1982 to 2014. It is
observed that temperature; rainfall and Humidity have different effects on agricultural crops
at different stages of production. This study analyzes the impact of climate change at three
different stages of production such as; planting, flowering and harvesting. Overall findings of
the study reveal that area and fertilizer have positive effect on all three crops at each stage.
Temperature has positive impact on wheat production during the planting and harvesting
stage. However, temperature negatively affects the production of wheat during the flowering
stage. Rainfall has negative association with the production of wheat during all three stages.
Further, results indicate that rainfall, minimum temperature and humidity positively affect the
production of rice crop during planting and negatively affect during harvesting. On the basis
of empirical analysis, this study suggests that Government should develop new varieties of
seeds and allocation of more resources should be encouraged to provide the security against
the problems of climate change. |
