A study conducted within the Climate Resilient Agribusiness for Tomorrow (CRAFT) project warns that common bean farmers in Tanzania are likely to face significant losses due to anticipated temperature rises and changing weather patterns over the next 30 years. The research, funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs and implemented by various partnerships, predicts more consecutive dry days, which could exacerbate droughts, particularly in southern Tanzania. The majority of farmers in the surveyed regions have already observed extreme temperature increases and more frequent droughts, leading to reduced bean production and productivity. The project recommends adopting early maturing bean varieties, promoting crop clinics, mechanisation centres, conservation agriculture practices, and irrigation to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change on bean farming.

FARMERS growing common beans in Tanzania are likely to incur losses resulting from temperature rise and changing weather patterns in the next 30 years, according to a climate study. The study, conducted in the context of the Climate Resilient Agribusiness for Tomorrow (CRAFT) project, shows that there is an increase in the number of consecutive dry days (CDD) which could lead to high incidences of drought. This would have a significant impact on rain-fed agriculture, including bean production. Beans production areas in the southern parts of the country such as Mbeya, Iringa, western parts of Ruvuma, and the southern regions of Morogoro are likely to be worst affected by the frequent and severe drought expected in the region. A relatively better condition for beans production is expected in the northern parts of the country particularly Manyara and Tanga districts. “During both the short and long rainy season, the model projection for mid-century (2050) shows a temperature rise of ...
