Abstract

The article investigates the influence of climate change on agricultural production in Paraná between 2001 and 2021, focusing on the efficiency of microregions. Using climatic and agricultural data, it adopts the DEA and Malmquist Index methodologies for the analyses. The results indicate alternative impacts of climate variables on efficiency, with a positive or negative effect on regions. It is concluded that climate change influences technical progress. The study addresses similar research in other regions and highlights the importance of adaptation and productivity growth in adverse climate contexts. Limitations are presented, which include the data horizon and economic factors not considered. The research contributes to the theoretical and practical understanding of the relationship between climate and agricultural productivity, providing recommendations for decision-making and suggesting future expansions in the analysis.
