“…Based on the empirical findings of Model (1), at the 1% significance level, increased fertilizer consumption is related to higher rice yield. This result corroborated the assertion of Chandio et al [ 29 ] and Pickson et al [ 37 ], who concluded that fertilizer utilization positively contributed to rice yields in the case of Nepal, Pakistan, and China, correspondingly. Similarly, mechanization has a positive and significant effect on the rice yield of Sichuan province at the 1% level, hence approving the Hypothesis (H1) .…”

“…This finding also backed up the claim of Wang et al [ 11 ], Li et al [ 60 ], and Pickson et al [ 37 ], who found that climate factors adversely and significantly affected rice production in China. As rice is one of the primary crops in China [ 51 ], the negative effect of global warming on rice crops suggests that the food security in China is currently threatened.…”

“…In the case of Pakistan, Rehman et al [ 36 ] reported a positive and significant linkage between output fertilizer usage and agricultural output. Pickson et al [ 37 ] used data from 1998 to 2017 to investigate the influence of climate change on rice production in China. They discovered that fertilizer use had a favorable long-run and substantial impact on rice output.…”

Agriculture is an integral sector in China mandated to feed over 1.3 billion of its people and provide essential inputs for many industries. Sichuan, a central grain-producing province in Southwest China, is a significant supplier of cereals in the country. Yet, it is likely to be threatened by yield damages induced by climate change. Therefore, this study examines the effects of technological progress (via fertilizers usage and mechanization) and climatic changes (via temperature and precipitation) on the productivity of main food crops, such as rice (Oryza sativa), wheat (Triticum aestivum), and maize (Zea mays) in Sichuan province. We employ the generalized method of moments (GMM) model to analyze Sichuan provincial data from 1980 to 2018. Our findings show a positive nexus between fertilizers use and yields of main food crops. Only rice and maize yields are significantly improved by mechanization. Increased average temperature reduces rice and wheat yields significantly. Rainfall is unlikely to have a significant impact on agricultural production. The study suggests that the Chinese government should consider revising its strategies and policies to reduce the impact of climate change on food crop production and increase farmers’ adaptive ability.

“…Climate change, especially in terms of extreme weather events, has exacerbated the fluctuations in food production and threatened world food security. In most part of China, increase in temperature is the main climate change issue reducing the major crop (wheat, rice, and maize) yields [1][2][3][4]. Increased extreme weather events associated with climate warms have exacerbated the decrease in food production in China.…”

“…To address the limitations of the Ricardian approach, the production function approach was used to reveal an empirical relationship between climate factors and grain output in agricultural production, particularly in China [1][2][3][18][19][20][21][22]. However, most of the existing literature only focuses on long-term climate change such as changes in temperature and precipitation, while the studies on the impact of extreme weather events are scarce [23,24].…”

Climate change has significantly affected agricultural production. As one of China’s most important agricultural production regions, the North China Plain (NCP) is subject to climate change. This paper examines the influence of climate change on the wheat and maize yields at household and village levels, using the multilevel model based on a large panel survey dataset in the NCP. The results show that: (i) Extreme weather events (drought and flood) would significantly reduce the wheat and maize yields. So, the governments should establish and improve the emergency service system of disaster warning and encourage farmers to mitigate the adverse effects of disasters. (ii) Over the past three decades, the NCP has experienced climate change that affects its grain production. Therefore, it is imperative to build the farmers’ adaptive capacity to climate change. (iii) Spatial variations in crop yield are significantly influenced by the household characteristics and the heterogeneity of village economic conditions. Therefore, in addition to promoting household production, it is necessary to strengthen and promote China’s development of the rural collective economy, especially the construction of rural irrigation and drainage infrastructures.

The impact of R&D investment on grain crops production in China: Analysing the role of agricultural credit and CO₂ emissions

et al. 2022

A better understanding of the dynamics involved in grain production is critical for food security and poverty reduction. To this end, several factors influence grain production, including capital (i.e. R&D investment and agricultural credit), agriculture environment (i.e. CO2 emissions), and technical progress (i.e. fertilizers and agricultural machinery). This paper analyses the combined effects of these factors on China's grain crops output from 1990 to 2017 by using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach. The ARDL‐bounds testing approach provided the long‐run connection amid the variables. The findings include: (i) agricultural R&D spending has an encouraging and meaningful influence on grain crops yield in the long‐run and short‐run; (ii) agricultural credit significantly and positively stimulates grain crops output; (iii) CO2 emissions negatively impact grains' output in the short‐ and long‐run; (iv) area under grain crops and fertilizers used also endure a positive spur on grain crops production in the long‐run and short‐run; and (v) short‐run nexus among the variables is navigated for robustness rationale via the vector error correction model Granger causality practice. Hence, the strategy specialists should also acquaint finances through prescribed organizations on comfortable provisions and minimal interests. In addition, the Chinese Governments and agricultural extension organizations should support the easy acquisition of high‐tech cultivating machinery to harvest crops swiftly and explore substantial markets for further business.
