Abstract

Rice is an important food commodity in Indonesia and several other developing countries, making its increase in demand in line with the population growth. While the government devise policies that attempt to boost rice production, limited resources, changing natural conditions and human activities impose challenges in this endeavor. Agriculture is a sector that is vulnerable to the risk of failure and economic loss from climate change, as measures, among other, in the changes and variability of temperature and rainfall. Hence, this study aims to describe the temperature and rainfall changes and variability, or we term climate change, as well as to assess the relationship between climate change and rice production in East Java Province. We collected data of monthly and annual temperature, rainfall, and rice production of East Java from 1981 to 2018 (38 years) from the Bureau of Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (Badan Meteorologi Klimatologi dan Geofisika, BMKG) and the Bureau of Statistics (Badan Pusat Statistik, BPS). The results show that there are increases in 1981–2018 monthly average, minimum, and maximum temperature, where (2001–2018) period experienced higher monthly temperature than the previous one (1981–2000). The differences between the two periods are also statistically significant. Meanwhile, rainfall in both periods is not statistically different, although rainfall in 2001–2018 tend to be higher than those in 1981–2000. Consequently, despite increasing trend in East Java’s annual rice production from 1981 to 2018, the period of 2001–2018 show that rice production is as fluctuated as the rainfall, average, minimum and maximum temperatures.
