The potential impacts of climate change on the Malaysian rice economy

The economic impacts of climate change on rice production in peninsular Malaysia were evaluated by using a simulation analysis. The crop model ORYZA 2000 was used to simulate rice growth and production. Variety MR 219 was used in the simulation of rice production from eight granary areas of peninsul...
