Climate change impact on fruit farm operations in Chile and Tunisia.

•  

  Abstract: Abstract Results presented herein describe the experiences of fruit farmers with climate change. Data for the analysis were collected from 801 face-to-face interviews with cherry and peach farmers at four geographically distinct locations in Chile and Tunisia. Climate change issues are currently more important for cherry farmers in Chile, while financial issues for peach farmers in Tunisia. However, all farmers in the four regions investigated, Central and Southern Chile and Northern and Central Tunisia, have experienced some type of climate-related crop damage between 2009 and 2018. Temperature-related crop impacts were noticeable in all regions. The main climate-related problems, specifically mentioned by the farmers, were hotter summers, shifts in the amount and patterns of precipitation as well as extreme and unpredictable weather events (such as frosts and hail). Water scarcity (droughts, access to water) is mentioned by the majority of the farmers in all geographical areas as the main current and future climate-related problem they face. Many of the climate change-related problems are region-specific, such as killer frosts in Central Chile and wind and hail damage in Central Tunisia. Adaptive measures will need to take regional differences into consideration. Eighty-three percent of farmers in Chile while only 70% of farmers in Tunisia plan to undertake adaptive measures to reduce climate impacts on their farming operations.
