The study, titled “Impact of Climate Change in Indonesian Agriculture”, found that continued climate change would cut Indonesia’s rice production by millions of tons a year, cutting exports by a third and leading to price increases of more than 50 per cent.
Lower emissions would still lead to reduced rice yields and price rises — but to a lesser extent.
