Vulnerability of cashew nut production to climate variability in the commune of Glazoué

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This study focuses on the impact of climate variability on cashew nut production in the commune of Glazoué in central Benin. It is based on the calculation of agro-climatological stress indexes (ISA), deviation from minimum value (Emin) from rainfall, temperature, and relative humidity data from the Savè station over the period 1985-2015. In addition, the estimation of agricultural statistics (cashew nuts) is made with producers over the period 2009-2018 for correlation with climatological data. The average interannual rainfall is 1084.19 ± 177.4 mm in the commune of Glazoué over the period 1985-2015 and is marked by 41.93% of surplus years, 12.90% of normal years and 45.16% of deficit years. In addition, the mean temperature varies from 25.5 ± 0.33°C in August to 30.4 ± 0.63°C in March on a monthly scale and is increasing at an annual rate of 0.04°C. Monthly average relative humidity ranges from 52% in January to 81% in August. Finally, strategies have been developed to deal with the sensitivity of cashew nut production by producers.
