| Summary: | This paper aims to investigate the connection between El Niño-Southern Oscillation and total annual rainfall and rice production in Thailand during 1980-2002 periods. We retrieved monthly rainfall and main season rice yields of all provinces in Thailand. We found that El Niño events negatively influenced total annual rainfall amount during the period, but did not affect main season rice yields at the provincial and ecosystem levels. We concluded that agricultural research and development to improve understandings of relationships under climate change situations will greatly benefit and secure production supply for vulnerable population, especially those already undernourished rural poor. |
