Climate change and crop farming in Bangladesh: an analysis of economic impacts

Abstract

Purpose-Changes in climate may have both beneficial and harmful effects on crop yields. However, the effects will be more in countries whose economy depends on agriculture. This study aims to measure the economic impacts of climate change on crop farming in Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach-A Ricardian model was used to estimate the relationship between net crop income and climate variables. Historical climate data and farm household level data from all climatic zones of Bangladesh were collected for this purpose. A regression model was then developed of net crop

Land Pricing Model: Price Re-evaluation Due to the Erosion and Climate Change Effects

“…Bozzola et al (2017) point to the fact that farm incomes are very sensitive to seasonal changes in temperature and precipitation, whereas farms with an irrigation system have the main advantage in this regard. Similar results are obtained by Hossain et al (2019), when farmers' incomes are influenced mainly by the temperature and the ability of agricultural holdings to use irrigation equipment. The results show that the implementation of global models on climate change can have an impact on income growth in this area, namely by 25-84 USD per hectare.…”

Assessing the effect of climate change and financial development on agricultural production in ASEAN-4: the role of renewable energy, institutional quality, and human capital as moderators

“…Further, the research done by Pickson et al, (2020) explored the nexus of climate change and cereal production for China for 1990Q1-2013Q4 using the ARDL, Johansson cointegration, and Granger causality test have found that CO2e and average temperature severely affected cereal production, whereas average rainfall, cultivated area, and agricultural worker significantly enhanced cereal production in both short-term and long-term. Hossain et al (2019) reveal that climate change can have both beneficial and harmful effects on agricultural sector in Bangladesh. The net crop income in the country was seen to vary with the rise in temperature in areas with extensive irrigation facilities.…”

Impact of Climate Change on Cotton Production in Bangladesh

“…In response to the decline in the country's major crop's productivity due to climate change, the agriculture sector is seeing an increase in crop diversification [10]. Cotton cultivation could play an important role in this shift in cropping patterns.…”
