The projection by 2050 was an increase between 1.5°C to 2°C. With the global population projected to reach 10.9 billion people by end of the 21st century (United Nations, 2019), understanding the impacts of climate change on the agriculture sector is critical. [...]numerous approaches to gauge the effects of climate change on agriculture output have been introduced. [...]numerous studies have been undertaken to gauge the impact of climate change on the production of corn (Baum et al., 2020, Brown & Rosenberg, 1999; Islam et al., 2012), potatoes (Hijmans, 2003; Raymundo et al., 2018; Rosenzweig ct al., 1996), rice (Faisal & Parveen, 2004; Lal et al., 1998; Muhammad et al., 2014; Murdiyarso, 2000; Rayamajhce et al., 2021), soybean (Fodor, 2017; Liu & Dai, 2020; Vera-Diaz et al., 2008), and wheat (Faisal & Parveen, 2004; Gul et al., 2019; Lal et al., 1998) among other crops. [...]the climate factors adopted for that state were the average values from the two nearest metrological stations surrounding that state. [...]a time trend (TimeTrend) was incorporated into the model to capture factors that change over time and were not captured by the explanatory variables such as changes in technology and government policies.
