Item Embargo Climate change adaptation provisions for the agricultural sector in Malaysia(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2015) Nazneen Jabin; Abul Quasem Al-Amin; Fatimah KariMalaysia has been experiencing an unusual harsh mixture of droughts and extreme rainfall events at present. As consequence, significant fall in crop production will be caused in the coming years. Current agriculture adaptation strategies are not significantly enough to cope with this issue. Therefore, this study aims to capture the scenarios in the field of climate change adaptation. The main focus of this study is to chalk out the adaptation efforts that the government and local stakeholders should consider. This study identifies the challenges associated with the implementation of adaptation options for the agricultural sector in response to climate change. Furthermore, this study presents some insight on the possible future strategies for adaptation that legislators may consider in designing and formulating the policy which may ultimately help the agricultural sector of Malaysia to be effective.Item Embargo Impact of climate change: an empirical investigation of Malaysian rice production(Springer, 2012) Muhammad Mehedi Masud; Md. Saifur Rahman; Abul Quasem Al-Amin; Fatimah Kari; Walter Leal FilhoThis paper examines the possible impact of climate change on Malaysian rice production. Using the Ricardian Method and farm household data, we have examined the effects on rice producers focusing on sharecropper adaptations and ecological causes. The principle goal of this research paper is to investigate the impact of climate variables such as temperature, rainfall and precipitation on rice production during main and off seasons, in Kedah, Malaysia. The main purpose of this paper is to examine how climate change affects the net income of paddy farmers in the study area.
