  1. IMPACT OF AND ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE ON COCONUT AND TEA INDUSTRY IN SRI LANKA (AS12) T S G Peiris1, M A Wijeratne2, C S Ranasinghe1 A Aanadacoomaraswamy2, M T N Fernando1, A Jayakody2 and J Ratnasiri3 (1Coconut Research Institute of Sri Lanka, Lunuwila, 2Tea Research Institute of Sri Lanka, Talawekella and 3 SLAAS, Sri Lanka),

  2. Outline • Coconut Industry in a nutshell • Climate Change in principal coconut growing regions • Vulnerability & Adaptation - purely stat. model (preliminary) • Tea Industry • Climate change and adaptation – stat. /dynamic (preliminary)

  3. World Situation for Coconut Mean annual production = 48 billion nuts Coconut extent = 11300 million hectares Productivity =4200 nuts/ha

  4. Average contribution on the world production by the major coconut producing countries

  5. Principal coconut growing regions in Sri Lanka

  6. Temporal variability of Annual Coconut Production (ACP) Baseline mean

  7. PATTERN OF UTILIZATION OF COCONUT NUTS

  8. Summary of the historical climate data analysis (1932-2003) The periods of classical rainy seasons, particularly North east monsoon (NEM): Dec-Feb has significantly shifted over the years (p < 0.05). In all regions rainfall during January to March has significantly (p < 0.05) decreased. Tmax, Tmin and Tdif during January to March have significantly (p < 0.05) increased. Rate of increasing of Tmax > Tmin

  9. Correlation between ACP and the quarterly rainfall in principal coconut growing areas - at one year lag

  10. Change in mean RF during Jan-Mar simulated from HadCM3 under three socio-economic scenarios SRES – A1FI SRES – A2 SRES – B1

  11. V & A Assessment (off line) V: Increasing rate of both Jan-Mar rainfall and Tmax are higher in wet zone indicating wet regions are more vulnerable to climate change than dry or intermediate regions. DL5 is not suitable for coconut plantation. A: Shifting coconut areas; Growing of shade trees. V: Pest damage on coconut would increase. A: More research on Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Needs to investigate more money. A: use of innovative methods.

  12. V & A Assessment (off line) V: Problem for mixed farm models Coconut + pasture + cattle Buffalo farming Coconut + Tea Coconut + Intercrops Coconut + Tea

  13. Impact on Production: Integrated statistical approach - Peiris et al. (2004) Yield = Climate Effect of the Previous Year + Technology Effect + Noise Effect

  14. Integrated model Yt =  +exp ( + *t) + 1*RF_JFMWL3t-1 + 2*RF_JFMWL4t-1 + 3*RF_APJWL2t-1 - 4*RF_APJIL3t-1 + 5*RF_JASWL4t-1 (R2 = .91, p < 0.001; all coefs. are sig.) 0 < 5 < 4 < 1 < 2 < 3 <1

  15. Validation of the model (r = 0.83, p< 0.0001) (% error varies: [-10% to 10%]

  16. Vulnerable climate indicators on Production At national Level: Jan – Mar rainfall ; Apr – Jun rainfall At regional Level : Jan - Mar rainfall; TMAX. and Intensity of rainfall At farm level: Rainfall during Jan – Feb TMAX, RHPM

  17. Pattern of projected CO2 concentration Y = exp ( +t)  = 0.00422 for B1 (R2 =0.94 = AdjR2);  = 0.00822 for A2 (R2 =0.99 = AdjR2);  = 0.00997 for A1FI (R2 =0.94 = AdjR2)

  18. Technology  CO2 increase Thus Yield at given SRES scenario = f(Climate effect) + f (CO2 effect at the same SRES scenario) + noise efect

  19. Projected national coconut production (million nuts) based on two GCM’s combined with three SRES scenarios (a) CSIRO (b) HADCAM 3

  20. Comparison of projected yield for 1995

  21. National impact – Only one aspect The increase in population and future climate change would affect the availability of nuts in future for industrial purposes Impact = Population x input per capita i.e. I (t) = P(t) x A(t)

  22. Demand for local consumption based on population projection There will be a shortage of nuts around 2040 under B1 scenario.

  23. Analysis of V&A - Multivariate time series approach : Res. Var - Yield Multivariate indicator -----?

  24. National level • Sri Lanka will need to import more substitute oil for coconut oil. • This will have adverse socio-economic implications and national economy. • Serious attention is required for a strategic policy on importation and probably to enhance cooperation in other coconut growing countries in the region.

  25. LIMITATION OF THE STUDY • Not use of multi level model for the analysis of V&A – multivariate time series /Ricardian model • Lack of long-term data on most of the varaibles

  34. Crop improvement Drought tolerant cultivars

  35. Soil Improvements Soil & soil moisture conservation Irrigation Soil Organic Carbon improvements

  36. Crop environment Shade management Intercropping

  37. CONCLUSIONS Expected climate change in Sri Lanka due to global climate change scenarios has significant impact on both coconut and tea industry. The climate change scenarios can help to identify the potential directions to the impacts and potential magnitudes of the overall effects. The magnitudes of changes should be looked with caution due to uncertainties in prediction process of climate. Impact of climate change on coconut production should be studied in other coconut producing countries as well.
