“…On the other hand, natural disasters (i.e., hurricanes, flash floods, floods, hail storms, drought conditions, and so on) hamper the normal cropping patterns of the country. While climate change has a negative impact on agriculture and its associated characteristics such as cropping patterns, output, and agricultural land use (Bibi et al, 2021).…”

International development (ID) agriculture projects play a crucial role in ensuring the long-term viability of agriculture-based economies in developing countries. While, unlike other development projects, these projects face unique supply chain challenges that agriculture development projects focus primarily on increasing crop production to ensure food security in a country, which is affected not only by social or national context issues but also by natural environments. Since no previous research has investigated the supply chain issues of ID agriculture projects, this study makes a significant contribution to the literature by identifying the key supply chain challenges of ID agriculture projects in a developing country context and proposing specific solutions to these challenges. Initially, the study conducted a literature review to generate a primary list of project supply chain challenges. To identify more significant and relevant challenges, the study conducted focus group discussions and consulted with an expert panel; it identified seventeen critical challenges and provided specific recommendations to address each challenge. The recommendations were then ranked using the fuzzy Delphi method based on their importance. Certain critical challenges, such as political influence, are exacerbated by the unique project and context environments. While others are the result of donors’ incompatible strategies and influences (e.g., donor-incompatible regulations). Some of them are created by both the host nation and the donors (delayed project launch, for example). Moreover, the projects face specific challenges posed by natural environments (such as natural disasters). To ensure value for money within the project’s scope, it is recommended that the professionals adopt the most important strategies to address the challenges. Not only are the findings impressive for industry professionals, but also policymakers, development partners, academics, and future researchers.

“…Winter precipitation, combined with summer season rainfall, exerts a profound influence on Rabi crops by ensuring water and soil moisture availability across various regions in Pakistan. Production of Kharif and Rabi crops has been extensively explored in numerous research studies (Al Mamun et al, 2022;Bibi et al, 2021;Charjan et al, 2023;Chhabra & Haris, 2014;Gadakh, Dalvi, Nirmal, & Dudhade, 2021;Krishna Kumar, Rupa Kumar, Ashrit, Deshpande, & Hansen, 2004;Kumar, KaurSidana, & Thakur, 2023;Mujtaba et al, 2022;Nageswararao et al, 2018;S.

Current study aims at to analyze the environmental influence on Rabi crops and to analyze the rainfall pattern with the vegetation pattern. Despite a declining GDP contribution, agriculture remains a fundamental pillar of Pakistan's economy, supporting livelihoods, nutrition, and export earnings. Focused on Mianwali District, the research integrates data from Landsat satellites, MODIS LST, and rainfall records to untangle relationships between environmental factors and Rabi crop productivity. Analysis of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) provides insights into crop health by revealing variations in vegetation cover. Land Surface Temperature (LST) data offers perspectives on thermal conditions during the Rabi season, crucial for understanding water stress. Rainfall data assists in assessing water availability and its impact on crop yield. Correlation analysis highlights the direct impact of environmental conditions on agricultural productivity. Temporal trends show diversification in crop types, with "High Crops" on an upward trajectory, while the overall crop area in Mianwali District consistently decreases, possibly linked to changing environmental patterns. Land Surface Temperature conditions suggest potential environmental adaptations, supported by a decrease in LST values from 2000 to 2022, indicating improved thermal conditions or adaptive strategies. Rainfall analysis underscores the significance of understanding climatic patterns for sustainable agriculture. The correlation between NDVI and LST emphasizes vegetation sensitivity to thermal conditions, providing valuable insights for ecological studies and precision agriculture. The positive correlation between Rainfall and NDVI highlights the crucial role of water availability in fostering vegetation health and guiding sustainable agricultural practices.
