Critical of climate change to risk of financial and productivity rice crop in Hamparan Perak District

Abstract

Climatic conditions continue to change, can be seen from various parameters such as rainfall, rainy days, wind speed and solar irradiation. Theoretically, it has an impact on the productivity and welfare of rice farmers and also poses a risk to production and directly or indirectly impacts the finances of rice farmers. The aims of this study were to analyze whether there are differences in rice farming productivity under different climatic conditions. Then to analyze the financial risk on farming rice due the climate change. The research location is in Hamparan Perak District, Deli Serdang Regency, Sumatra Utara Province. We involved 50 farmers as samples and three experts and experienced farmers in risk analysis. Analysis of productivity differences was carried out using the paired sample t-test method with the SPSS 26 tool. While risk analysis is carried out using failure mode effect analysis with Risk Priority Number calculation techniques. The results found that there were significant differences in rice farming productivity during planting periods with different climates. There are 22 financial risks that have the potential to occur in the rice farming process, from land preparation to harvesting stage. The highest level of risk is at the maintenance stage.
