A Study on the Current Spatial Distribution of Long - Grain Rice Due to Climate Changes in India

Simran Kaur Dhillon

Abstract: Climate change is affecting agriculture worldwide; India is one of the largest rice producers in India, with a 20% share in gross rice production in the world. However, rice production is particularly at risk of temperature and rain limit changes. This research paper highlights a comprehensive study of the spatial distribution of long - grain rice in India. This further highlights the way long - grained rice production has been influenced by climate change. Here, it is analysed that climate data, changes in it, and rice production statistics to understand the correlation between climate variables and rice cultivation patterns. This study used changes in annual rain amounts and temperature as independent variables, which affect the production of long - grained rice throughout India. The findings provided valuable insights for both policymakers and agricultural stakeholders about the adverse effects of climate change. Regression and correlation analysis assessed the reliability and validity of the overall study. This assisted them in promoting adaptive strategies for mitigating the negative impacts of climate change, the vast threat, on long - grain rice production in India.
