CLIMATE change remains a major source of concern for the agriculture sector as it continues to hit farm productivity, a new survey shows.
According to the Agriculture Sector Survey of 2022 released this week, 100 percent of stakeholders interviewed confirmed that over the past few years, climate change has had a significant impact on productivity.

“Extreme weather patterns affect crop productivity as high temperatures or excessive rainfall have an adverse effect on both crop and livestock production and productivity,” reads the report.
