change (CC) and identify their adaptive capacity (AC). A survey was conducted through structured
questionnaires to understand farmers’ perception and adaptation strategies in response to changing
climate and variability. The findings indicate that farmers are moderately adaptive to CC in the study
area. The result also revealed that the main barriers are lack of funds and government support available information to CC. Farmers with higher AC can produce greater amount of rice. Rice producers
should be enabled through improved extension services, government aid, such as grants, training for
better level of adaptability, to help them achieve higher rice production.
