摘要: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to delve into an extensive analysis different food crops, ranging from bananas, beans, brinjals, cabbages, chillies, creepers, groundnuts, mixed vegetables, pineapples and tomatoes, over three decades. To maintain ever-increasing population level, much stress exerted on the production crops. However, till date, very little known about how climate change influencing crops in Mauritius, upper-income developing country found Indian Ocean highly vulnerable risks. Design/methodology/approach Based interactions between harvest area for weather metrics, a vector autoregressive model (VAR) system applied comprising each crop with their respective area. Weather metrics are then entered as exogeneous components model. underlying rationale that not caused by or should thereby be...
