“…These results agree with those of SAWS, which shows the rainfall patterns in the four provinces of the study area in the past 10 years. These results are in agreement with the results from the studies by Bhushan et al (2018) and Singh et al (2019), which also show that a vast majority of smallholder farmers correctly perceived the impact of droughts on their agricultural production.…”

The adverse effects of climate change on agricultural productivity are on the increase. This study employed both descriptive statistics and the multivariate probit model to estimate factors constraining the adoption of climate change adaptation strategies among smallholder farmers in the study area. The empirical results of the multivariate probit model showed that a lack of knowledge of climate change constraints was influenced by smallholder farmers’ age, gender, off-farm activity, susceptibility and membership in farmer-based organizations. Thus, to improve the adaptive capacity of farmers, government and development partners should work together to improve the conditions under which farmers can gain access to climate change information and suitable agricultural credit as well as policy incentives aimed at lowering the stringent conditions of borrowing in the agricultural sector.
