climate condition at CO 2 concentration of 540 ppm, however yield would drop by
approximately 4-8% from baseline condition under climate condition at CO 2
concentration of 720 ppm. The summer-autumn crop tends to get severe impact from
climate change, which the simulation result shows significant drop by approximately 8-
12% under climate condition at CO 2 concentration of 540 ppm, and would sharply drop
further by approximately 15% to almost 50% in some areas under climate condition at
CO 2 concentration of 720 ppm. On average, the simulation result shows that yield of rice
production in the Mekong River delta would drop by approximately 18% toward the end
of this century (under climate condition at CO 2 concentration of 720 ppm, which
according to SRES A1FI, will be around the end of the century).
