This study evaluated the impact of climate change on yield and net revenue of beans production in Nigeria using Feasible Generalised Least Square and Hedonic Ricardian Approach. Secondary data were used for this study; monthly rainfall and temperature data from 1981 to 2019 were obtained from Nigeria Meteorological agency while data on socioeconomic and demographic characteristics as well as farm production for 2000 beans farmers across the six agro-ecological zones were obtained from General household survey wave IV. The study reveals that beans crop is sensitive to infinitesimal change in temperature than rainfall. The marginal impact analysis of increasing temperature and rainfall indicated that a unit increase in rainfall decreased the net revenue of beans by N14,997 per hectare, while a unit increase in temperature increased the net revenue of the beans production in Nigeria by N15,316 per hectare. The adjusted mean yield of beans will increase by 1.058kg per hectare with a unit increase in temperature while it will reduce 0.173 per hectare with a unit increase in rainfall. The study also examined the impact of predicted climate scenarios from two models namely Canadian Climate Change and Parallel Climate Model on net revenue for the years 2050 and 2100. All these models indicated increasing temperature would have a positive impact on the net revenue from beans production for the year 2050 but the impact will be negative by year 2100. This means there will be more profit from beans production in year 2050 while in 2100 the beans farmers will produce at loss. Nigeria government should therefore consider designing and implementing adaptation policies to counteract the harmful impacts of climate change on beans production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
