Abstract


Maize is one of the multipurpose crop whose yields can be affected by climate change. Climate change includes increasing air temperature, increasing sea levels, and changes in rainfall can be a threat and cause a decrease in maize yields. This could be caused by climate change factors. This research aims to identify climate change and analyze the correlation between climate change and maize production in the Majalengka Regency. Maize plantations in the 26 sub-districts are still fluctuative. The method used in this research is quantitative descriptive using trend analysis and correlation. The data used include temperature, rainfall, harvested area, production, and productivity of maize obtained from (i) the Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency of Majalengka Regency, (ii) Statistics Indonesia, (iii) Food Security, Agriculture, and Fisheries Office of Majalengka Regency, and other related sources. The results of this research showed that climate change in Majalengka Regency was marked by an increase in temperature trend and a decrease in rainfall trend. The correlation between temperature and changes in maize production in Majalengka Regency was significant, while rainfall was not significant.
